OMEX Environmental Ltd are proud to present a NEW\u00a0range of non-hazardous products\u00a0for the anaerobic industry\u00a0to minimise hydrogen sulphide levels in the fermenter.<\/p>\n

Biogas can often contain hydrogen sulphide which needs to be removed to avoid odour and corrosion issues occurring which can cause structural damage to the fermenter, the CHP engines and reduce the performance of the biology. These high concentrations of dissolved H2<\/sub>S can be toxic to the microorganisms in the digestate, which can inhibit the production of biogas and cause its\u2019 quality to deteriorate.<\/p>\n

The presence of hydrogen sulphide in biogas makes it corrosive to metal parts. Iron is subject to surface attack, although not major corrosion. The effect on non-ferrous metals in components, such as pressure regulators, gas meters, valves and mountings, is much more serious as they are very quickly corroded.<\/p>\n

Active Fe helps by binding the hydrogen sulphide immediately during formation. Therefore allowing the AD process to occur uninhibited resulting in optimal biogas yields and methane content.<\/p>\n
