Channel Islands Dairy receives biogas desulfurization by Paques

One of the most recent THIOPAQ^® scrubber start-ups in North America was at the Channel Islands dairy in California.  It is sized for a maximum biogas flow of 640 scfm and maximum hydrogen sulfide load of approx. 300 lbs/d.

Within a few days after start-up, the system treated all biogas and removed H₂S to < 50 ppm in the treated biogas.

The THIOPAQ^® scrubber was selected for this RNG project for its low operating costs, high uptime and excellent track record. The O&M costs of the system are as were projected in the proposal stage. The owner is very happy with its performance.

The THIOPAQ^® scrubber is a chemical biogas desulfurization system with an integrated biological regeneration of caustic, resulting in a high hydrogen sulfide removal efficiency (typically > 99%) at a low operating cost. Developed by PAQUES, this technology, of which > 275 units have been installed worldwide, enables users to consistently meet stringent gas quality requirements as well as the option to recover biosulfur.
