Biogas-to-CNG Compression

Project Description

Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, has two sewage treatment plants, where biogas is produced to serve as fuel for the 120 inner city buses. The Henriksdal sewage treatment plant processes sewage water from the inner city and southern parts of Stockholm, resulting in an annual production of about 9 million Nm³ of raw biogas. 
At this site, Malmberg, a Swedish contractor in the fields of water treatment and biogas, has supplied a biogas upgrade plant to produce around 6 million Nm³ of upgraded biogas per year.

For this project, CSH has supplied a skid mounted electric driven 2-stage reciprocating compressor installation to compress the cleaned biogas to a storage pressure of about 350 bar.
