QUESTION FROM GOERGE VAN ZEDAM:
A 10 Kg gas cylinder how much upgraded biogas can be compressed in?
ANSWER: TALKING BIOGAS WITH LAZAROUS CHEWE
The amount of upgraded biogas that can be compressed in a 10 kg gas cylinder will depend on the pressure at which the gas is compressed and the specific volume of the compressed biogas.
Assuming a standard pressure of 200 bar for compressed biogas and a specific volume of 1/200 m³/kg, we can calculate the amount of biogas that can be stored in a 10 kg gas cylinder as follows:
Volume of biogas in a cylinder = Cylinder weight x Specific volume of compressed biogas x Pressure
= 10 kg x (1/200 m³/kg) x 200 bar
= 1 m³
Therefore, a 10 kg gas cylinder can hold approximately 1 cubic meter of upgraded biogas when compressed at a pressure of 200 bar. However, the actual amount of biogas that can be compressed may vary depending on the specific conditions and requirements of the system.
