Heat Exchangers For Renewable Energy

Traditionally, pipeline natural gas comes from deep underground wells and it's often associated with petroleum production. When organic matter in landfills or animal waste, break down in an anaerobic environment, or oxygen-absent setting, a blend of gases primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide are released. Landfills are places where biogas is present in high concentrations, which is why it's often called landfill gas.

Biogas is burned as a fuel or treated to remove the CO2 and other gases for use just like natural gas. Treated biogas is often called renewable natural gas, or RNG, as well as biomethane.

Uses Of Heat Exchangers

Capturing heat for use in anaerobic decomposition or elsewhere conserves energy and is cost-effective. Modern biogas plants incorporate several processes that can benefit from heat exchangers.

• Exhaust Gas Cooling
• Feedstock Heating
• Sludge Heating
• Digestate Concentration
• Thermal hydrolysis
• Digestate Evaporation
