Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is one of the biggest challenges in biogas production. While biogas efficiently converts organic waste into energy, the presence of H₂S makes the gas corrosive and harmful to equipment. Removing H₂S during purification is essential to protect pipes, engines, and other components, ensuring safe and efficient biogas use.
How is sulphur sludge formed in biogas systems?
During biogas sulphurisation, H₂S is converted into sulphur sludge — a thick, sticky slurry that collects in the bioreactor. If this sludge is not removed promptly:
-
It can clog the system
-
Reduce overall process efficiency
-
Increase maintenance costs
-
Create a bottleneck in biogas operations
How do peristaltic sulphur pumps solve this problem?
Our peristaltic sulphur pumps efficiently transport sulphur sludge out of the bioreactor, ensuring smooth H₂S removal and allowing recovered sulphur to be reused as high-quality organic fertilizer.
WA Project Example:
For a recent biogas project, we delivered Dura 45 pumps with C5 coating. These pumps provide long-lasting corrosion protection and are ready to handle sulphur sludge in the purification system reliably.
WA project delivered: Dura 45 pumps, C5-coated for long-lasting protection, are ready to move sulphur sludge in a sulphur removal system within the biogas purification setup.
Why peristaltic pumps are ideal for H₂S removal:
-
Handles tough sludge: Thick, abrasive sulphur slurry passes through without clogging
-
Gentle and reliable: Ensures continuous flow without damaging equipment
-
Corrosion-resistant: Built to handle compounds produced during H₂S removal
-
Easy to maintain: Simple hose replacement reduces downtime
