STRABAG has extended its product range to amine gas-treatment process for the upgrading of biogas to natural gas quality
 

STRABAG Umweltanlagen GmbH (STRABAG), formerly Linde-KCA-Umweltanlagen, has obtained a licence from DGE GmbH Wittenberg, Germany for the pressureless amine gas-treatment process to upgrade biogas to a quality of natural gas according to the BCM®-process. STRABAG therewith extends its present product range in the field of biogas, which contained so far, next to the well established technologies for the biogas production (Wet Digestion in the LARAN®-loop reactor and Dry Digestion in the LARAN®-plug flow digester), only the pressurized water scrubbing for processing of biogas up to a quality of natural or fuel gas (CNG).

Besides the existing realized plants based on the pressurized water scrubbing, STRABAG realizes the first plant with the pressureless amine gas-treatment process by BCM®-technology. This project is a digestion plant for biowaste in Luxembourg where the treated biogas shall be fed into the SUDGAZ gas network.

The contracts between STRABAG and DGE include a licence for 12 selected countries in West, Central, and East Europe as well as the possibility to project related cooperation and the intention to develop and optimize the BCM®-technology together.

STRABAG obtains access to an innovative and extremely interesting technology with regard to the related operating costs and minor emissions.
