Small-scale biogas upgrading : feasibility study of small-scale biogas upgrading in Iceland and possible methods
Methods for upgrading biogas to vehicular standards, to reduce the need for petrol and diesel, are examined if feasible for small-scale upgrading. Water Scrubber adsorption and Membrane biogas separation where found feasible. The water scrubber system was found the only available option for upgradin...
