Biohydrogen production from biomethane

Biohydrogen from biomethane

Biohydrogen production from biomethane using steam reforming. A reforming reaction takes place:
CH₄+H₂O = CO+3H₂.

The produced Syngas continues to react on another catalytic bed, where Water Gas Shift reaction takes place:
CO+H₂O= H₂+CO₂

Advantages of biohydrogen

As global demand for energy grows, so does the pressure to source energy sustainably to combat global warming. Biohydrogen (bioH₂) promises to provide sustainable energy compared to its other counterparts. Like hydrogen, it has a high energy content (120-142.9 MJ/kg) and is also a clean energy carrier, making it a suitable replacement for fossil fuels.

The production of biohydrogen offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the commercial methods currently used to produce hydrogen, as it does not require such a large amount of energy to produce. But most importantly, biohydrogen production uses organic waste.

How MEGA can help you produce biohydrogen from biogas

We are an engineering and supply company representing a comprehensive range of services and equipment in the field of biogas treatment. We analyse your needs and design the most suitable technology with turnkey implementation.

Our comprehensive modular system for the production of biohydrogen from biogas is based on MEGA's long-term research in the field of membrane gas separation and close cooperation with its subcontractors.

We guarantee our technologies, as we either manufacture them ourselves or cooperate with top-quality, time-tested suppliers, both domestic and foreign.
