This SBIR Phase I project will develop a method that utilizes a carbon based adsorptive surface flow membrane to perform continuous concentration of methane from raw bio-gas from large animal feed operations. The membrane can upgrade biogas at 40 to 65% CH4 to 90%+ CH4 with 10% CO2 at minimal/no pre-compression. Then, the upgraded methane can be used to generate pipeline quality methane, to produce peak time electrical power from on-site gas storage tanks for resale to the grid and/or to generate power or heat for in-house use. The resulting methane can be used on site, supplied via pipeline after being pressurized, or be feed to an on site electrical generating plant.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be first to reduce the release of the greenhouse gas methane, second to produce a stream of high quality natural gas at a theoretically lower cost than competing technologies.

这个SBIR I期项目将开发一种使用碳基的吸附表面流膜来从大型动物饲料操作中从原始生物气中执行甲烷的连续浓度。 该膜可以将40％至65％CH4的沼气升级至90％+ CH4，在最小/无预压下使用10％CO2。然后，升级后的甲烷可用于生成管道质量的甲烷，以从现场气体储罐中产生高峰时段电力，以转售到网格和/或产生功率或热量以供内部使用。 所得的甲烷可在现场使用，加压后通过管道提供，也可以将其馈送到现场电气发电厂。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将首先减少温室气甲烷的释放，其次是在理论上比竞争技术更低的高质量天然气生产高质量的天然气。
