Vacuum Pressure Swing: tecnologie

di adsorbimento per l’upgrading del biogas

È prevista una crescente domanda di unità di upgrading del biogas. VPSA è un impianto di
lavorazione economico, facile da usare e robusto che può essere la soluzione giusta soprattutto
per le strutture di piccole dimensioni che non possono beneficiare di team strutturati di operatori
addestrati.
Oiltech e l’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, hanno avviato un programma di ricerca per
effettuare prove sperimentali su un impianto su scala di laboratorio e ottenere dati affidabili su
rese e prestazioni.
