Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biogas power generation technology, and in particular to a landfill gas pretreatment and purification mixed gas supply system. Background Technology
[0002] Firstly, landfill gas, produced by anaerobic fermentation in landfills, is the primary gas source for generator sets, with a methane concentration of around 50%. As landfills age, this methane concentration gradually decreases, making it difficult to maintain full-load operation of the generator sets. Generator sets require a methane concentration of at least 50%. To ensure the continued normal operation of existing generator sets, better utilize landfill gas, and avoid energy waste, system upgrades are necessary. Under limited resource conditions, increasing energy density helps reduce the actual amount of biogas entering the generator sets. Purifying landfill gas at its source is an important research topic, as it can significantly reduce the damage to equipment from harmful gases while improving power generation efficiency and extending the lifespan of the generator sets. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a landfill gas pretreatment, purification, and mixing gas supply system. By purifying landfill gas and then mixing it with non-fuel gases to obtain high-concentration landfill gas of the required purity, this system supplies biogas generator sets with the gas for power generation. This helps to improve power generation efficiency, increase economic benefits, reduce power generation costs, and extend the service life of the generator sets.
[0004] This application solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions.
[0005] The landfill gas pretreatment, purification, and mixing supply system comprises a pretreatment system, a purification device, a gas mixer, several biogas generator sets, a carbon dioxide separator, and a carbon dioxide storage tank, all in a skid-mounted integrated structure. The purification device and gas mixer are sequentially installed on the main outlet pipe of the pretreatment system. The inlet branch pipes of each biogas generator set are connected in parallel to the end of the main outlet pipe. The exhaust gas straight pipes of each biogas generator set are connected in parallel to the carbon dioxide separator and the carbon dioxide storage tank. The carbon dioxide gas separated by the carbon dioxide separator is stored in the carbon dioxide storage tank. The landfill gas, purified by the purification device into high-concentration landfill gas, is mixed with the carbon dioxide gas stored in the carbon dioxide storage tank through the gas mixer before entering the inlet branch pipes of each biogas generator set.
[0006] Preferably, the pretreatment system includes a biogas dehydration device, a booster fan, an air-cooled radiator, and a precision filter.
[0007] As a preferred option, the booster blower is a Roots blower.
[0008] Preferably, the precision filter includes a primary filter with a particle size of 10 μm and a secondary filter with a particle size of 3 μm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0016] The collected landfill gas is purified by a purification device. For example, 500 NM3 / Hr of raw gas (45% methane content) is purified to 65-95% purity using PSA pressure swing adsorption. Then, it is mixed with carbon dioxide gas stored in a carbon dioxide storage tank through a gas mixer to a volume of 500 NM3 / Hr and a concentration of about 58%. This mixture is then supplied to various biogas generator sets for biogas power generation, achieving peak power generation and greatly improving power generation efficiency. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the damage of harmful gases to the equipment and helps extend the service life of the generator sets, enabling the power generation company to maximize its economic, environmental, and social benefits.
