A simulation study for the upgrading of biogas using aqueous ammonia

Biogas upgrading process is usually performed for the removal of impurity gases (mainly carbon dioxide) other than methane from the biogas mixture. Being operated at high pressure and low temperature, both physical and chemical conventional upgrading methods lack energy efficiency. While a high pr...
