Biogas Cleaning With BTS-MPdry: Efficient Impurity Removal For Enhanced Energy Production 

__
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span data-contrast="none">Biogas is a promising renewable energy source, primarily composed of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and trace impurities such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxanes, hydrocarbons, and water vapor. To utilize biogas effectively as a raw material for energy production or other products like biomethane, it must undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove harmful impurities.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://kradminasset.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/ExpertViews/pic1.png" width="618" height="240" /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span data-contrast="none">BTS-MPdry is an innovative technology that offers an efficient way to clean biogas, resulting in numerous benefits for the biogas industry.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Biogas Cleaning&nbsp;</span></h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><span data-contrast="none">Biogas can be derived from uncontrolled processes, such as landfills or lakes, or controlled processes, like wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
