Patent Name Patent Number Abstract

Biogas fuel 7582140 A biogas treatment system removes moisture and other
conditioning unwanted materials from biogas originating, for example,
system with a landfill or anaerobic digester. Water and other
unwanted materials are thus removed from landfill gas and
waste water biogas, while the gas temperature is controlled
to a usable...
Enhanced biogas 6716351 A system comprising a first anaerobic digester (12), an
production from ammonia recovery vessel (16) and a second anaerobic
nitrogen bearing digester (14). Microorganisms in the first digester are
primarily hydrolyzers and acetogens, while those in the
feed stocks second digester are primarily methanogens. A nitrogen
containing feed stock...
Storing biogas in US 2006/0120806 A1 The invention provides wells comprising biogas; methods
wells for storing biogas in wells; methods for producing energy
from biogas; methods for stimulating natural gas production
from natural gas wells using biogas; and methods for
removing carbon dioxide and other impurities from biogas.
Process for US 2007/0190630 A1 A production method of a biogas of the present invention
producing biogas comprises carrying out hydrogen fermentation of a subject
solution containing organic matter with the use of a
hydrogen fermentation microorganism, in which according
to a correlation between a concentration of a predetermined
substrate in...
Method for using 7781194 The invention relates to a method for using biomass in a
biomass in biogas biogas process. The aim of the invention is to use
process substrates having a high nitrogen and solid content, and
which using a small amount of water, has very good energy
balance and is particularly environmentally friendly. Said
aim is achieved...
Manure digester 4750454 A manure digester and power generating system includes a
and power mixing tank for receiving manure, a closed, anaerobic
generating system manure digester tank of fixed volume, and a gas-fueled
engine and a generator coupled to the engine, for
generating electrical power. Manure is scraped into the
mixing tank daily, where...
Anaerobic digester 7186339 An ambient anaerobic digester system for anaerobic
system for animal digestion of animal waste with biogas production and
waste stabilization recovery is provided. The anaerobic digester system
includes a substantially flexible bladder for anaerobically
and biogas digesting the animal waste with biogas production and
recovery transmitting the biogas to...
