Lutosa has been producing quality potato products for more than 40 years. Locally grown potatoes are processed on the two production sites. Task realized a biogas desulfurization at the site in Sint-Eloois-Vijve.
Why does H2S (hydrogen disulfide) need to be removed?
Hydrogen sulfide is produced by many industries, including food processing, wastewater treatment, blast furnaces, paper mills, tanneries and oil refining. H2S((di)hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen disulfide or hydrogen sulfide gas) is a toxic and flammable gas with a typical odor of rotten eggs. Because of this toxicity, it is important to remove it. Due to the toxicity of H2S, inhaling even low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide is dangerous for long periods of time.
What is the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide with a biological scrubber?
The removal efficiency with this method is about 95%. This means that no odor is released into the environment. This can be verified with a simple odor measurement or olfactometry.
Cost-saving technology
One of the main advantages of this removal technique is its very low operating costs. This is because it does not require a constant supply of chemicals.
