Hyvolution

2010/08/25Workshop "Upgrading of biologically produced gases"
The Hyvolution workshop will take place on September 24th, 2010 in Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany. More detailed information is in the attachment.

Gas separation technologies are state-of-the-art in chemical industry for many decades. The application of the same technologies is not necessarilly the best way for separation of biologically produced gases from the energetic point of view.
The boundary conditions of chemical and biological processes for gas upgrading differ mainly in temperature and pressure. State-of-the-art adsorption and membrane processes are able to use the available gas pressure which is energetically beneficial while biologically produced gas must be compressed before.
Furthermore, the volume flow and concentration can fluctuate if sunlight is used for biosolar hydrogen production. The gas upgrading must be able to handle this.

The workshop deals with the most promising gas separation technologies for biologically produced gases e.g. membrane processes, absorption and membrane
contactors, a combination of absorption and membrane process. The workshop will give an overview over:

The principle and application of promising state-of-the-art and new gas separation technologies (absorption, membrane processes and membrane contactors)
Biogas upgrading for grid-injection
Upscaling of CO2-selective membranes
Membrane materials (polymers, ceramics) for different gas separation tasks
