Upgrading Biogas to RNG

Biogas is produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste matter

Remove impurities to produce RNG for use as CNG vehicle fuel or pipeline injection.

What is Biogas & Biomethane (RNG)?

BiogasMixture of gases produced by the break down of organic matter in an oxygen free environment

CH4: ~60 %

CO2: ~39 %

N2+O2: < 1%

H2S: 50 – 5,000 ppm

H2O: Saturated

Siloxanes: Trace

Biomethane (RNG)Upgraded biogas that is interchangeable with natural gas

CH4: > 96 %

CO2: ~1 %

O2: < 0.4 %

Total inerts: < 4 %

H2S: < 1 ppm

H2O: < 1 ppm

Siloxanes: < 1 ppm

A technology independent company• Greenlane is evolving from being just a waster wash

supplier to becoming a technology independent solution provider. Some of the technologies we offer include:

Membranes PSA Water Wash

Modular Solutions

• Biogas Blower• Water Scrubber• VPSA• Biomethane

Compressor• Regenerative

Thermal Oxidizer• Flares

The Surrey Biofuels Facility

A BC Success Story

Greenlane helps Surrey produce RNG

in BC

Greenlane buys 100% RNG in BC

from FortisBC

Greenlane is based in BC

and employs BC residents

Greenlane hires BC

contractors to install their

work

Greenlane designs and

manufactures their plants in

BC

Surrey Biofuels Facility

Project Site

• Source Separated Organics Facility in Surrey BC

Objective

• Close the loop on the city – reduce/recover organic waste

Process

• Produce biogas using anaerobic digesters to break down organic waste.

• Upgrade biogas to RNG using Greenlane system• Recover CO2 to use as part of the process.

RNG Use

• Inject into FortisBC pipeline & fuel CNG vehicles.

Innovation – CO2 RecoveryIntegrating Water-wash and

VPSA Technology

• CO2 recovery VPSA

• Landfill Gas VPSA

• Rule 30 VPSA

• Integrated Solution

• Standardized Designs paired with Water Scrubbers

Greenlane Water Wash Overview1. Biogas compressed & fed to scrubber to remove impurities

4. Clean gas purified for customer delivery3. Methane not recovered in

scrubbing stage gets “flashed off” and recovered

2. Biogas showered with water, CH4 passes through and impurities trapped in water

Greenlane System Benefits

Proven• 90+ installations• 20+ Years of experience• Largest Upgrading Facilities in

the World• Injects into Fortis Pipeline since

2010.

Simple & Robust• Water, no chemicals• Reliable & high availability (>95%)• Sales Gas always available,

process not susceptible to H2S

High Purity RNG• > 97% biomethane• N2 and O2 removal. CO2

recovery.• > 98% methane recovery• Vehicle fuel or pipeline injection• Able to meet California’s Rule 30

Cost-Effective and Local• Standardized units• Energy efficient• Low operating costs• Heat Recovery• No proprietary media, just water!• Local support and service.
