Landfill Gas Clean-up and Upgrading to Hydrogen System

Quadrogen has extensive knowledge of and experience in biogas and landfill gas clean-up systems technology, design and development. Quadrogen’s Integrated Biogas Clean-up System will remove all sulfur species, siloxanes, chlorides, water, oxygen and other impurities from biogas to the parts per billion level required for reliable and long term operation. Quadrogen also has extensive experience developing cost effective gas cleanup systems and methane reformer designs for Ballard Power Systems’ natural gas and biogas fueled 250 kW PEM fuel cell power plants installed at more than 10 sites in Canada, the USA, Europe and Japan.

Quadrogen has teamed with Pioneer Air Systems, Inc. based in Tennessee and is uniquely positioned to design and deliver a gas clean-up and upgrading system producing hydrogen from landfill gas. Pioneer Air systems have been installed at numerous locations in the USA.

The Quadrogen and Pioneer Air team has recently delivered a biogas clean-up system operating on anaerobic digestion gas at the Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant in California. This gas is being cleaned for a DFC300, which is producing renewable power, heat, and hydrogen. Initial testing from the Quadrogen Gas Clean-up System has shown that all sulfur species and all halogen species at the outlet of the Quadrogen clean-up skid are below the minimum detection limit of 25 ppbv.
