Validated a biogas purification technology to promote its use as an alternative energy

The innovation aims to desulphurise the biogas produced in urban solid waste treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants. Developed by the LIFE Biogasnet project, the solution is based on the application of efficient and low-cost biological technologies. The developed system has been tested for one year in an urban solid waste treatment plant located in Cádiz and subsequently in an urban solid waste treatment plant in the Attica region in Athens (Greece), two installations facilities in which different sources of ammonium-rich effluents have been used to desulfurize biogas with the aim of validating the technology and its operation in various environments and conditions.
