Activated Carbon for Nitrogen Removal

Nitrogen, which occurs in natural gas streams, is one of the most common pollutants. This gas can cause a low BTU rating, rendering pipelines unusable. Pipelines generally accept gases that contain only 4 to 5% nitrogen. Therefore, it is important to remove nitrogen from the natural gas.

In addition, when producing renewable natural gas (RNG), the nitrogen content in the biogas must be removed or controlled to meet RNG specifications. This requires special attention to the nitrogen content of biogas from landfills.

It is possible to remove the nitrogen from the biogas using pressure swing adsorption (PSA). This process removes carbon dioxide and other trace impurities while allowing the nitrogen to pass freely with the methane.

Carbontech offers an effective and economical solution for nitrogen removal.

Carbontech complements its activated carbon products with on-site systems and services to provide customised solutions. The company also offers free samples for customers.
