Case Study: Predicting internal corrosion in renewal biogas systems for increased pipeline reliability

10/25/2024

Biogas is a renewable fuel generated through the anaerobic fermentation of organic matter. It is a mixture of gases, mainly methane and carbon dioxide (CO2), accompanied by trace elements dependent on the feedstock and production method. The refining process can eliminate CO2, water vapor and other trace gases, transforming biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG) or biomethane, aligning it with natural gas industry standards. RNG can be injected into the existing natural gas grid and used interchangeably with conventional natural gas. The principal challenges associated with biogas transportation involve the consistent control of non-methane constituents, notably water content, and the ma
