Clean Methane Systems partner with Ammongas on biogas upgrading technology

Clean Methane Systems LLC (CMS), a biogas consultant based in Tualatin, Oregon, and Ammongas A/S, a biogas service provider based in Glostrup, Denmark, have partnered to bring amine technology to North American renewable natural gas (RNG) customers.

According to a news release from Ammongas, the technology simplifies biogas upgrading by minimizing the steps required to prepare and inject renewable natural gas into the grid. Amine technology also reduces the operational cost of the system in the novel way it manages hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants in the gas stream.

"This technology simplifies the gas upgrading equation and significantly reduces the costs of removing contaminants," says Tim Robinson, president of Clean Methane Systems. "We are committed to efficiently recovering methane for beneficial use in North America. We view the Ammongas upgrading technology as the next step forward in accomplishing that objective. The overall impact to the industry and the environment looks very promising."

Ammongas says collaborating with CMS will enable it efficiently and effectively enter and serve a large, new market.

"The result should be best-in-class solutions supported locally for serious customers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada,” says Alexander Ryhl, head of sales for Ammongas.
