THIOCOMP®
The Sulfur
Scavenger for Biogas Plants directly from the Manufacturer
High iron content - works
immediately - prevents corrosion - no hazardous substance
General
:
Sulfur-containing
substrates cause high levels of sulfur in the biogas, which must
be removed.
That
means effort and therefore costs.
Additional
to the desulphurization of the biogas is
to bind the sulfur with THIOCOMP®
directly
in
the digestate.
That does not only enhance the duration of gas desulphurization
but
prevents
the digester from sulfur-corrosion
("bio-corrosion").
THIOCOMP®
is
a natural, non-toxic iron mineral
containing several iron oxides
and iron oxidhydrates
with a content of
40 - 50%
(w/w) iron,
which
is introduced into the digestor
together
with the substrate.
THIOCOMP®
is finely ground, highly active and
works immediately after addition into the digester.
THIOCOMP®
is pH-neutral, free of chloride,
non-corrosive and
prevents the digester
from sulfur-corrosion.
THIOCOMP®
is
not
a dangerous good.
It is easy to
transport, store and handle.
Because natural iron minerals are mentioned in annex 5, according
to article 2, section 7, letter b in the
REACH-regulation
there is no
obligation to registration.
In contrast to several iron-hydroxide
sludges from drinking water treatment THIOCOMP®
does not
add any radioactivity into the digester. (Technical
information)
Iron oxide
hydrate, iron oxides and iron hydroxide are mentioned in the
German
"Düngemittelverordnung",
Appendix 2, Table 8 under number 8.1.4 as
permissible
precipitants for sulfur
and
may be added up to 0.1% by weight of the DM.
Effect :
THIOCOMP®
comes
as a
dry, fine
powder and is
highly
active.
It is
simply added together with the fermentation substrate and evenly
distributed through the agitator.
THIOCOMP®
binds the sulfur directly in the
digester
as poorly soluble iron sulfide.
As a result, the sulfur does not
even pass into the biogas, but remains in the digestate and can
be used as a valuable trace element.
THIOCOMP®
can be used
instead of or in addition to an existing gas or exhaust gas
desulfurization, which increases the service life of the gas
desulfurization accordingly and prevents
corrosion in the digester.
Application
Rate:
The required amount oft THIOCOMP®
is to determine as follows:
-
1 Kg THIOCOMP®
binds ca. 300 g sulfur
-
1 Kg sulfur are bound from ca. 3,5 Kg THIOCOMP®
Based on
the approximate 1 : 1 ratio between diluted sulfur in digestate
and gaseous sulfur in biogas the needed amount of THIOCOMP®
can
be calculated with our:
"Sulfur-Calculator"
The proportional-factor is preset as "2.0" but can be
altered due to empirical values.
Any sensors
give the H2S-instead
of the total sulfur content in the biogas. The conversion is to
be performed as follows:
sulfur-content = H2S-content
x 0,94
So mostly the
deviation between S and H2S
will be negligible.
What does my sulfur removal cost?
The
effective component of THIOCOMP®
and
comparable products is iron.To calculate the costs for iron-based
sulfur removal the absolute iron content of the products
must be considered, because water, loam etc. do not
support the sulfur removal capacity.Due to his high total iron content
THIOCOMP®
is cheaper than most of the comparable products
and saves costs for transport and storage.
With our:
"Iron
Price
Calculator"
you can easily compare your recent product with our THIOCOMP®.
Remark:
The
Calculators are Excel-sheets that has to
be downloaded and possibly stored locally for it to work.
Then
it can also be used independently from the website.
Several apps, especially on smartphones, require an input as %
or decimal number (50% = 0,5).
