Abstract

An improved method and apparatus for removing acid gases and other impurities from raw biogas streams, such as biogas from landfills or biogas from controlled anaerobic digestion, is disclosed. The method provides efficient generation of high-purity renewable natural gas from raw biogas. The biogas is treated in a multi-stage membrane system integrated with compression equipment. The membrane separation stages are integrated with high-pressure and low-pressure compressors with the low-pressure compressor operating in a defined pressure range. The combined system provides for efficient contaminant removal from raw biogas to generate high-purity methane products with reduced membrane area and compression energy consumption.
