Gas Cleaning Systems
Designed around the resource.
Scoped around the objective.
Gas cleaning connects the contaminant load at the source with the requirements of downstream equipment. Biological, adsorptive and physical treatment stages are combined where needed.
Biogas pretreatment linesGas preparation for biomethane systemsGas quality improvements at existing plants
Integrated design for gas quality
Gas cleaning concept featuring biological desulphurisation towers and auxiliary process equipment.
THE PROCESS
How does the system work?
01
Gas characterisation
Measuring flow, H₂S, moisture and trace contaminants; assessing load variations.
02
Primary H₂S removal
Reducing the sulphur load through a suitable biological or other treatment process.
03
Advanced conditioning
Polishing, filtration and moisture control according to the target gas quality.
04
Quality monitoring
Monitoring inlet/outlet measurements, pressure drop and maintenance requirements.
SYSTEM SCOPE
Engineering components
considered together.
Equipment and process options are selected according to project inputs and target outputs.
Polishing treatment
Activated carbon or suitable adsorbents where required to meet final gas quality targets.
Moisture & particle control
Coordinated design of gas cooling, condensate separation and filtration.
Measurement & automation
Monitoring gas analysis, pH and process conditions; controlled operation and alarm scenarios.
THE STARTING POINT FOR DESIGN
What data does your project need?
| Sulphur load | Joint assessment of H₂S concentration and gas flow rate |
|---|---|
| Outlet target | Engine, boiler or membrane inlet requirements |
| Gas composition | O₂, N₂, moisture and feedstock-specific trace contaminants |
| Operation | Load variations, consumables and maintenance access |
Treatment efficiency and outlet concentration are engineered according to gas load and operating conditions.

YOUR GAS CLEANING PROJECT
Start with your gas flow.
| For an existing plant | Share your gas flow, inlet H₂S measurements and the outlet requirements of the gas-using equipment. Together, we can define the connection boundaries between the existing line and the new system. |
|---|---|
| For a new investment | Define scrubber towers, piping, instrumentation, automation and auxiliary equipment as separate items in the proposal scope. |
| A field measurement example | The two analyser photographs on the Üregen Biogas project page show H₂S readings of 17,311 ppm and 522 ppm. We present this measurement example separately from the design and outlet information stated on the project card. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Key points before making a decision.
Is a biological system sufficient on its own?
It depends on the outlet quality target. Additional drying or polishing may be required, particularly upstream of sensitive equipment.
How is air or oxygen managed in biological treatment?
Dosing is controlled by design. Gas safety, O₂/N₂ limits for the end use and process conditions are assessed together.
How is a gas cleaning system priced?
The proposal depends on gas flow, inlet H₂S load, target outlet concentration and site scope. It also specifies whether piping, automation, installation and commissioning are included.
What should I send for an initial discussion?
Send average and peak gas flow, available gas analyses, the required outlet specification and photographs of the installation area. If data is missing, we can identify the measurements needed during the initial review.
