Biogas-to-CNG Compression

Project Description

The Swedish city of Luleå produces biogas by digesting the municipality’s sewage sludge and residual products from nearby industry. The gas is used as fuel for the local passenger coaches and the municipalities own fleet of cars. Luleå has now more that 150 vehicles that run on the self produced biogas, which is about half of the municipality’s fleet of vehicles.

The Biogas Upgrade facility was awarded to Cirmac International, for which CSH has delivered two electric driven oil injected screw compressor packages to compress the upgraded biogas for further distribution.
