PROLIMIX® Biomethane Enrichment Mixer

I-Maximum is the exclusive representative of the German company Scharr Tec in Poland for Biomethane Enrichment Systems and gas mixers.

The PROLIMIX® system from SCHARR TEC enhances biomethane by increasing its heating value through the addition of propane (LPG).

The PROLIMIX® mixer allows for the injection of liquid propane into the biomethane. The energy needed for propane evaporation being drawn directly from the biomethane.

In the nozzle head, propane is dispersed through numerous nozzles, creating an aerosol that evaporates by absorbing heat from the biomethane. At this stage, effective mixing of propane with biomethane already occurs. In the subsequent stage, the gas mixture is further blended in the mixer through precise directing and turbulence.

The control system in the PROLIMIX® system enables precise adjustment of the heating value of biogas to a specified level. This process involves the precise injection of a measured amount of atomized propane into the biomethane.

The PROLIMIX® enrichment system operates fully automatically. The control system maintains the desired heating value of the enriched mixture: LPG + Biomethane.

Additionally, we offer installations that can mix up to four gases simultaneously (e.g., Biogas, NG, hydrogen, natural gas, LPG, CO₂), allowing for the maintenance of both the energy value (heating value) of the gas fuel and the percentage content of each gas in the gas mixture at a specified level.

Benefits of using Biomethane Enrichment Blender:

  • Precise Mixing: Exact proportional mixing of biomethane with other gases (e.g., LPG, propane, natural gas), allowing for the desired energy value of the mixture to be achieved.

  • Automatic Regulation: Fully automated management of the enrichment process, including control of calorific value, pressure, and flow, ensuring operational stability.

  • Increased Energy Efficiency: Enables the enrichment of biomethane to achieve a higher energy value, enhancing the energy efficiency of the gas installation.

  • Operational Flexibility: Adaptation to varying conditions, such as fluctuations in the calorific value of biomethane, increasing the operational flexibility of the system.

  • Easy Integration: Facilitates easy integration with existing gas infrastructure, simplifying the implementation of the solution within current systems.

  • Control and Monitoring: Advanced control systems allow for monitoring and regulating the enrichment process, ensuring high quality and stability of the gas mixture.

  • Increased Reliability: Enhances the reliability of gas supply by enabling the mixing of different gas sources, ensuring continuity and stability of supply.

Main benefits of the PROLIMIX® biomethane enrichment mixer

  •  Advanced safety features and modern mixing technology: nozzle head with propane flow measurement and control valve.

  •  A condensate separator with a liquid detector at the mixer outlet ensures that liquid propane does not enter the downstream piping system in the event of over-injection (e.g., due to a measurement system failure).

  •  Pressure and temperature are continuously monitored; if either exceeds or fails to reach preset limits, propane injection is automatically shut off.

  •  The PROLIMIX® system is standardly available for biomethane flow rates of 350, 700, and 1200 Nm³/h. Custom designs are also available to accommodate various pressure and flow rate requirements.

Models are also available in the following pressure ranges:

1. Low pressure (up to 1 bar),

2. Medium pressure (up to 16 bar),

3. High pressure (up to 35 bar).

Biogas plants are planning to produce biomethane with the intention of introducing it into the gas transmission network. Consequently, there are certain restrictions regarding connections to gas network operators (such as PSG, Gas-System, etc.). One of the unresolved issues is the inconsistency of the heating value of biomethane with the requirements for natural gas in the network.

Many biogas plants fall short by 3-5% of the required heating value of biomethane in a given ORCS (Heating Value Settlement Area).

I-Maximum LLC is a unique engineering company that implements biomethane enrichment systems using propane (LPG, BioLPG). Our solutions also enhance the heating value of biogas, enabling more efficient utilization in cogeneration systems (gas-piston power plants), thereby increasing their electrical power output.

Benefits for Biogas and Biomethane Plants

The energetic enrichment of biogas contributes to the increased efficiency of installations, which directly translates into higher energy output. Here are the main benefits of implementing this technology:

1. Increased Profitability through the enhancement of the heating value.

2. Safety provided by the stable physicochemical properties of the gas.

3. Versatility in utilizing enriched biogas in related technological processes.

The solutions offered by I-Maximum ensure uninterrupted supply of gas and gas mixtures (biomethane, biogas, hydrogen, SNG, etc.) with controlled heating value for industrial burners, steam boilers, cogeneration systems, combined heat and power plants, and other installations.

BIOMETHANE ENRICHMENT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE "BIOMETHANE INVESTOR ACADEMY" MAGAZINE BIOMASS, July 2024, No. 6 (106)

Biomethane at the development stage in Poland. Biomethane production and its benefits have been known for years. In the "Biomethane Investor Academy" magazine of Biomasa Magazine (pp. 68-69) we highlighted how biomethane enrichment will contribute to the development of the biogas and biomethane market and will enable the connection of biomethane plants to the gas network. We encourage you to read.
