Biogas

Biogas is a gas mixture developed from naturally occurring processes in nature.  Basically, bacteria that exist in our world digest organic material, and the by-product of their digestion is biogas.  Biogas is a mixture mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, but invariably contains many other compounds.  Some of the more significant compounds are considered contaminates, and are things like hydrogen sulfide, siloxanes, mercaptans, and a host of other molecules.

As most people understand, this process is all around us, and the biogas is released into the atmosphere.  Cattle have a significant output of biogas from their digestion system, and that output is discharged into our atmosphere.

Purposeful use of biogas after its capture, like covered digesters, and covered landfills, most often requires some sort of remediation, meaning “cleaning it up”, to remove the contaminates, and make the biogas less damaging to the equipment that utilizes the biogas.

Large renewable energy and biochemical consulting firms like Lee Enterprises Consulting will certainly have experts in biogas.  They also offer a wide range of services in the general areas of biofuels, biochemicals, biotechnologies, biomaterials, synthetic biology commercialization, feedstocks, and hemp/cannabis, and will have many specialized business and financial services like due diligence, feedstock availability, grants and loans and bio market research.  A big consulting group like this should also offer technical and engineering related services like techno economic analysis, environmental evaluations, feasibility studies, risk analysis and expert witness engagements, and have solid strategic partnerships in place to assist clients with insurance, legal, accounting, plant fabrication, feedstock procurement.  

With over 150 experts worldwide, Lee Enterprises Consulting has experts in many specific clean and renewable areas, including anaerobic digestion, fermentation, biomass, conversion technologies for things like tires and railroad ties, organic synthesis, fuel additives, ethanol gas, biodiesel fuel including algae biofuels, solid state and industrial fermentation, green energy grants, ag biotech, agricultural waste, alcohol fuels, alternative proteins and animal-free products, sustainable foods, beverage fermentation, biocatalysis, biodiesel conversion, biogas production, biomass power, carbon intensity, co2 utilization, combined heat & power, Fischer-Tropsch technology, food waste, hydrothermal carbonization, industrial enzymes, landfill management, microbial fermentation, organic synthesis, plastic pyrolysis, plastic recycling, plastic waste, pyrolysis oil, reactor design, renewable identification number, the Renewable Fuel Standard (rfs2), solid recovered fuels, torrefaction and torrefied biomass, waste to energy, and waste-to-hydrogen.   This is a multidisciplinary group of green energy consultants that is a virtual “one stop shop” for any client need and handles projects of all types and sizes.

Look at our experts and the services we provide.  Most of our experts are also available to advise and serve as expert witnesses in bioeconomy litigation matters.  For the larger projects, we specialize in putting together full service, interdisciplinary teams with one point of contact.  See video about LEC here.  Call us at 1+ (501) 833-8511 or email us for more information.  See also:  Improving Biogas Production with Mixed Feedstocks in Anaerobic Digestors.
