AbstractIn the near future, renewable energy sources will replace fossil energy. To allow full carbon utilization of renewable biomass, we have demonstrated a possible integration between a biogas reactor, an electrolysis unit, and a catalytic methanation reactor. Stringent removal of all sulfur contaminants in raw biogas is required to enable this integration. We demonstrate how existing bulk sulfur removal solutions, like a biotrickling filter loaded with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and impregnated activated carbon, are unable to meet this requirement. Only the main sulfur contaminant hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can effectively be removed. Contaminants carbon disulfide (CS2), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and carbonyl sulfide (COS) will leak through the carbon filter, long before hydrogen sulfide can be detected. Utilization of surplus oxygen from the combined system is proven problem free and allows sulfur removal without introducing contaminants. Provided that a recommended sulfur guard is included, the proposed design is ready for full-scale implementation.

Sulfur dioxide, carbon disulfide, and hydrogen sulfide are important decomposition products of insulating gas sulfur hexafluoride, and their types and contents are of great significance for the fault diagnosis of SF6 insulated equipment. In this paper, a method of combining ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy and least squares fitting is proposed for the quantitative calculation of sulfur dioxide, carbon disulfide, and hydrogen sulfide mixed gases. All three gases have absorption peaks in the ultraviolet band and they overlap with each other which makes it hard to determinate the concentrations of the three gases directly. During the experiment, we found that high concentrations of sulfur dioxide and carbon disulfide interfered with the hydrogen sulfide calculation and the magnitude of this interference was positively correlated with these two gas concentrations. Therefore, we found a modified equation for the correction of hydrogen sulfide. Combined with this equation, accurate quantitative detection of three gases can be achieved. The detection ranges are 0.5–10 parts per million for sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and 10–300 parts per billion for carbon disulfide. This paper provides a simple and efficient detection method, which is convenient for integration into detection equipment and it provides a support method for the diagnosis of sulfur hexafluoride decomposition gases.
