Biological Desulphurization Plant
Process Description:
A certain amount of air is led to mix with raw biogas. The H2S would be removed in the biological desulphurization tower when mixed gas gets through it. Special plastic packings are installed inside the reactor to provide sufficient space for the propagation of bacteria. The circulation of nutrient solution keeps the packings wet and supplements nutrients required for the growth and reproduction of the bacteria. Exclusive species (such as Thiothrix or Thiobacillus) live and breed on the nutrient in the packings. By this means, they absorb H2S from the mixed gas and convert it into elemental sulfur, which then is converted to dilute sulfuric acid.
