Greek Demo Advances Reactor Design. The Greek demo is making significant progress in optimizing its biogas-to-biomethane conversion technology. Our team is currently focused on refining the reactor’s design, a key component in ensuring the effective upgrading of raw biogas into high-purity biomethane. The reactor serves as the core of the demo, where biogas undergoes a three-step thermocatalytic methanation process. In this process, CO2 from the biogas reacts with renewable hydrogen, using nickel-based catalysts to produce biomethane of over 95% purity.
We are carefully evaluating various design parameters such as catalyst performance, flow dynamics, temperature, and pressure control, all of which are crucial for maximizing conversion efficiency and ensuring long-term sustainability. In parallel, we are advancing the development of the full-scale process unit, with our engineers working diligently to finalize construction plans. The reactor is being designed not only to be robust and scalable but also adaptable to a variety of biogas feedstocks. With the reactor design now in its final stage of refinement, the completed plans will soon be handed over to our manufacturing partner to initiate construction.
