- Description
-
The composition of Biogas varies depending upon the substrate composition, as well as the conditions within the anaerobic reactor (temperature, pH, and substrate concentration). Landfill Gas typically has Methane concentrations around 50%. Advanced waste treatment technologies can produce Biogas with 55%–75% Methane, which for reactors with free liquids can be increased to 80%–90% Methane using in-situ Gas purification techniques. As produced, Biogas contains Water Vapor.
Typical Composition of Biogas:
- Methane - 50-80%
- Carbon Dioxide - 15-50%
- Nitrogen: 0-1%
- Hydrogen Sulfide: 0-0.5%
- Oxygen: 0-2.5%
