STS - Siloxane Monitor - Product Datasheet 2018

Siloxanes are a class of organic Chemicals containing silicon, which burn in CHP engines, producing silica, in effect sand, which is highly damaging to engines and results in major, frequent engine damage and hence overhauls. The solution is to remove the damaging siloxanes in the Biogas or Landfill gas before they reach the CHP engine, this is achieved by using either an activated carbon filter or a regenerative filter. The problem however arises that carbon filters have a finite life span and are relatively expensive to change and that regenerative processes can be energy intensive dependent on the regeneration cycle.
