| Abstract | Developing a suite of biofuels for different applications relies heavily on upgrading technologies to remove nitrogen compounds and carbon dioxide. Particularly in the upgrading of biogas to biomethane, simple water scrubbing is the most widely used technology for biogas upgrading. This technology can be synergistically implemented without the need for additional equipment for processing steps, although this design has not been conceived yet. Samples of biogas-pipeline condensates were collected from 3 different anaerobic digestion plants processing 3 different feedstocks (i.e., food waste, agrowaste, and manure) at 3 different locations in each plant (i.e., biodigester and postdigester condensate pits, digestate pasteurizer, and biogas booster and chiller). The methodology for the analysis of the 5-mL biogas-pipeline condensates was acid -base titration with 0.06 M hydrochloric acid and 0.13 M sodium hydroxide solutions as titrants, and induction of crystallization by cooling at 3 degrees C, adding up to 40 mL of acetone as antisolvent, and settling for 12 h. The results showed that the concentration of ammonium bicarbonate in the condensates ranged from 0.75 to 50 g/L. The most suitable location to enhance the upgradation of biogas, formation of condensate, and precipitation of ammonium bicarbonate was the pit after the anaerobic digester and before the biogas storage. The most concentrated condensate was retrieved from the biogas-pipeline coming out of the pasteurization tank, but the operation at 70.5 degrees C also led to volatilization of organic compounds that negatively affected the biogas quality. Future work aims to investigate coating and granulation of ammonium bicarbonate crystals to improve their stability and commercialization. |
