Abstract
Biogas contains varying amounts of hydrogen sulphide (0-3%) and it is necessary to remove this before the gas can be used, because of its corrosive and toxic properties and following pollution with sulphur dioxide. Biological cleaning processes have previously been documented as alternatives to traditional physical and chemical methods. The aim of the project is to determine whether the process where Thiobacillus bacteria convert hydrogen sulphide to sulphate can be used for cleaning methane from Danish biomass conversion plants. It was not found to be possible to achieve a sufficient capacity for conversion in the culture to prove that biological methods for cleaning could be a reasonable alternative to traditional methods. This is mainly because of low rates of growth, despite changes in substrate composition, bacteria cultures or culturing conditions. The process remained inefficient and unstable. It was concluded that the biological process was unsuitable for commercial uses in this respect in biomass conversion plants. (AB) (10 refs.).
