Biogas Storage

 

Storage of Biogas


  • Biogas is not usually produced at the time and quantity necessary in meeting the requirements of the conversion system load which it serves resulting in the implementation of storage systems in order to smooth out variations in gas production, gas quality and gas consumption. 

  • The storage component acts as a reservoir: this allows downstream equipment to operate at a constant pressure.

  • A wide variety of materials have been used in making biogas storage vessels:
- Medium-and high-pressure storage vessels are constructed of mild steel 

- low-pressure storage vessels constructed of steel, concrete and plastics. 

- The newest reinforced plastics feature polyester fabric suitable for flexible digester covers. 

With this in mind, advantages and disadvantages of the materials for both types of vessels must be considered during designing.

  • The delivery pressure required for the final biogas conversion system affects the choice for biogas storage.

Cross-contamination in Food processing Plants

Cross-contamination in food processing facilities can occur in ways that may not even be visible as  there are many unexpected ways in which bacteria can travel. Awareness of these potential causes of cross-contamination will aid in the maintenance of a sanitary food processing environment . Post-Harvest Contamination Workers that go from the area of sorting the raw material upon arrival to processing zones are susceptible to spreading bacteria from unclean hands touching food or food-contact surfaces. Cross-Contamination from Storage Bins Stacking storage bins directly onto soil or areas outside the processing facility and then bringing the containers into the facility can also bring bacteria into a clean environment.   Contamination from Footwear When employees walk in fields, compost sites, or other areas outside of clean zones, they can bring bacteria into a processing facility on their feet.    Contamination from Mobile Equipment The same challenge a...
