Conveyance of Biogas Becomes More Efficient With Biogas Blower Technology

Handling the biogas coming out of an anaerobic digester should not be taken lightly. It’s not only highly corrosive but it also has the potential to be highly explosive. Traditionally the blower that has been put in place to convey the biogas from the digester to where it will be consumed has been viewed as a replacement item because the gas is so corrosive for the blower to last long.

However, a new biogas blower from Aerzen, debuted in the US at this year’s WEFTEC event, aims to change that thinking.

“We provide a more robust solution that’s going to last longer,” says Tom McCurdy, National Sales Manager for Aerzen. “The entire internal service that the gas passes through is covered with what we call a chemco, which is an impregnation. It’s an epoxy coating that actually impregnates the metal, so it makes it even more corrosion-resistant.”

Aerzen uses ductile iron casing so that if there ever was an explosion it would be contained. And as with the company’s other products, the biogas blower has been designed with energy efficiency at its core.
