Biogas is widely considered as one of the most promising renewable energy resources and the most environmental-friendly energy source. Biogas produced through anaerobic digestion contains many impurities and a high percentage of CO2. Thus, upgrade and purification of the raw biogas by capturing CO2 before its application are necessary. In this work a catalytic methanation process of biogas was proposed and numerically analyzed. It appears that sustained periodic oscillations occur in a wide range of operating parameters. A detailed nonlinear analysis is performed, and the information produced can be useful for effective plant design and adequate plant control and operation.

Abstract
Biogas is widely considered as one of the most promising renewable energy resources and the most environmental-friendly energy source. Biogas produced through anaerobic digestion contains many impurities and a high percentage of CO2. Thus, upgrade and purification of the raw biogas by capturing CO2 before its application are necessary. In this work a catalytic methanation process of biogas was proposed and numerically analyzed. It appears that sustained periodic oscillations occur in a wide range of operating parameters. A detailed nonlinear analysis is performed, and the information produced can be useful for effective plant design and adequate plant control and operation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
