It is a simple and effective reaction that takes place under normal operating conditions and without adding oxygen to the system.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p>Depending on the product formulation, it is possible to partially regenerate the medium through controlled aeration. In addition, a buffering effect is observed that helps to smooth out H\u2082S peaks when dosing is temporarily interrupted.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>Our N-Bio solution is designed to be dosed in situ in the digester or in the reactor feed. This strategy captures H\u2082S early on, stabilises the biogas stream and prevents oxygen from entering the gas line. When required by the project, we can also integrate external iron media beds as a complementary stage.<br\/>  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-ventajas-principales-eficiencia-seguridad-mantenimiento-sencillo\">Main advantages: efficiency, safety, easy maintenance<br\/><\/h3>\n\n<p>Iron hydroxides offer clear advantages over other desulphurisation methods:<br\/><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proven efficiency across a wide range of concentrations and flow rates, with good tolerance to fluctuations.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operational safety: no O\u2082 in biogas \u2192 lower ATEX risk.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple integration: on-site dosing (N-Bio) without complex equipment; fixed bed option where applicable.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Predictable maintenance: monitoring of H\u2082S at the outlet and pressure drop (in beds) to schedule replacements.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility with upgrading to biomethane and with pre-treatment schemes.<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-limitaciones-y-como-gestionarlas\">Limitations and how to manage them.<br\/><\/h3>\n\n<p>Although this is a highly effective solution, it is important to bear certain aspects in mind to ensure maximum performance:<br\/><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Media saturation: requires monitoring H\u2082S at the outlet and planning replacements.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waste management (FeS): must be handled in accordance with local regulations.<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regeneration: its viability depends on the H\u2082S load and the product.<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-inyeccion-de-oxigeno-en-biogas-beneficios-y-riesgos\">Oxygen injection in biogas: benefits and risks<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-como-funciona-la-oxidacion-con-oxigeno-aire\">How oxidation with oxygen\/air works<\/h3>\n\n<p>The injection of oxygen (O\u2082) or air is an alternative method for biogas desulphurisation.

Biogas contains hydrogen sulphide (H\u2082S), a toxic and corrosive compound that compromises equipment, safety and regulatory compliance. Among the most commonly used methods for H\u2082S removal are iron hydroxides and oxygen injection. Both work, but differ in efficiency, safety, cost and sustainability.
