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.

Abstract The paper presents aspects related to the performance of an anoxic biotrickling filter designed for hydrogen sulphide (H2S) removal from biogas. In this process, nitrate was supplied through a nutrient solution as an electron acceptor for anoxic growth of H2S-oxydizing microorganisms. The biotrickling filter's packing media consisted of a layer of plastic fibres over volcanic rocks in a ratio 0.78:1 by volume. The total volume of packing media was 0.014 m3. Several H2S loading rates (IL) were tested under continuous dynamic conditions, ranging between 20 and 550 g of H2S feed/(m3bed·day). Maximum process performance (>95%) was observed for IL ranging up to approximately 300 g of H2S feed/(m3bed·day). The degradation of hydrogen sulphide occurred with the formation of both sulphate and elemental sulphur, their formation ratio being dependent on H2S loading rate. Elemental sulphur was found to be the dominant degradation product, particularly at IL > 96.18 g of H2S feed/(m3bed·day). The use of two biotrickling filters in series was also tested, and a significant improvement in process performance was observed. This technology allows simple operation with low maintenance and has the potential for sulphur recovery.
