In the present work chemical-oxidative scrubbing as a novel method for the desulphurisation of raw biogas is presented with a special focus on the process potentials and economics. The selective absorption of hydrogen sulphide from gas streams containing high amounts of carbon dioxide using caustic solutions is not trivial but has been treated in literature. However, the application of this method to biogas desulphurisation has not been established so far. Based on rigorous experimental work, an industrial-scale pilot plant has been designed, erected and commissioned at a biogas plant with biogas upgrading and gas grid injection in Austria. Data collected from the 12-month monitored operation has been used to elaborate performance as well as economic parameters for the novel desulphurisation method. The proposed technology offers significant operational advantages regarding the degree of automation and the flexibility towards fluctuations in process boundary conditions. Furthermore, the economic assessment revealed the high competitiveness of the chemical-oxidative scrubbing process compared with other desulphurisation technologies with the named advantageous operational behaviour.

It is well known that wet hydrogen sulphide (H2S) can cause embrittlement of steels, hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulphide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC). Several fractures of pipelines handling sour crude oil or gas led to vigorous researches on these problems. As similar failures have also been experienced in petroleum refinery equipment, degradation of steel by hydrogen sulphide is now recognized as a serious environmental problem. The paper considers the mechanism and factors involved in HIC. This type of cracking occurs mainly in the parent steels. The susceptibility of steels to cracking is influenced strongly by inhomogeneities such as the shape and distribution of non-metallic inclusions, and segregation of alloying elements. These have a significant effect on HIC because they modify the microstructures in the segregated regions. With reference to environmental factors, these mainly concern the influence of H2S partial pressures, pH of the solutions and other phenomena relevant to the absorption of hydrogen by the steel. SSCC poses problems in weld zones. It can occur especially in heat affected zones (HAZ) with high hardnesses. Such cracking can be prevented by the control of hardness by a suitable selection of the chemical composition of the steel and the welding conditions. Nevertheless, countermeasures similar to those described for the prevention of HIC are necessary to prevent SSCC in HAZ even with relatively low hardness. Research on factors influencing HIC and SSCC has resulted in the development of steels which are highly resistant to wet H2S cracking. These steels have been supplied in plate form for pressure vessels. Experience has confirmed the good performance of welded constructions in aggressive service environments.
