NEWPORT, Del., Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Compact Membrane Systems (CMS), a pioneer in innovative separations technology, has completed the first pilot demonstration of Optiperm™ biogas. The latest addition to the CMS portfolio is aimed at enabling the clean energy transition underway in the biogas industry, a market valued at 55 billion. Optiperm™ biogas holds the potential to create pipeline ready gas with a simpler and less expensive product. Such a technology solution would enable local farms, landfills, and other sites to process and use their own biogas product or to sell it. 

Optiperm™ biogas targets the separation of methane from carbon dioxide with fewer stages and less compression than existing membrane solutions, addressing the biogas market. CMS completed its first pilot demonstration and has proven membrane stability and achieved 90% methane purity with a single stage membrane unit.  

Request the pilot system for your facility.

Technology Overview

Optiperm™ biogas reduces the stages, compression, and pretreatment needed to upgrade biogas streams. The lower operating pressure (2-3 bara) makes the upgrading process more energy efficient than current high pressure membrane solutions. The fluoropolymer nature of the membranes provides stability in H₂S, and resistance to common poisons like hydrogen, water vapor, and CO. The technology is scalable and can produce economically viable biogas upgrades for small, medium, and large streams. Optiperm™ biogas permeates the carbon dioxide, water, and hydrogen sulfide, leaving upgraded methane in the retentate. 

Pilot Results

Working with Dickinson College Energy Projects Manager Matt Steiman, a spiral wound module system was installed at the Dickinson College Farm in late 2020. During the pilot installation, Optiperm™ biogas demonstrated stability and verified the performance that was measured in CMS laboratory testing. The unit took feed directly from the digester with no pretreatment and operated at a feed pressure of 2.7 bara. The feed contained 56-60% methane with balance carbon dioxide, 300 ppm H₂S and was saturated with water vapor.

In a single stage, Optiperm™ biogas achieved:

• Stable performance for 2 months
• 90% methane product
• 90% methane recovery
• 80% carbon dioxide in permeate stream
• 8x H2S reduction (from 300 ppm to 37 ppm)

The next steps include scale-up of the membrane modules for commercial use. The rig used at Dickinson Farm is available for additional pilot demonstrations. To learn more about the pilot rig or Optiperm™ biogas Contact CMS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Blockchain Research Institute, in collaboration with the Washington DC-based Chamber of Digital Commerce and other experts have produced a 120-page report on how the Biden-Harris administration could reimagine US technology strategy and policy—and take action to implement it.

Don Tapscott, Anthony Williams, and Kirsten Sandberg are the principal authors with a foreword by Tony Scott, former Federal CIO of the United States in the Obama-Biden administration.

The Biden-Harris administration arrives at a unique time in history. The pandemic exposed problems at all levels of government, creating a demand pull for transformation. The advent of the second era of the digital age, with a «trivergence» of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, is creating an innovation push.

The report advocates for government leaders to acknowledge our new digital realities and develop a comprehensive framework for ensuring justice, sustainability, citizen trust, social cohesion, and good governance. To do this, federal leaders must get up to speed quickly on these technologies.

The report outlines five broad areas of change, each of which addresses major priorities for the new administration. Among the dozens of recommendations are the following.

1. Ensure security, privacy, autonomy, and citizen-owned identities 

2. Embrace the digital dollar and digital currency

3. Retool government services and service delivery to meet world-class digital standards 

4. Engage citizens, hold elected officials accountable, and rebuild trust 

5. Reboot America’s innovation economy to include a diversity of entrepreneurs 

According to the report, digital transformation is not just about modernizing technology and tools. It is about adopting appropriate digital technologies to change how we work, deliver public value, and build prosperity through the emerging digital economy.

It also advises fresh new thinking about the role of the new digital age in the economy, body politic, and society. The goal is to ensure the fulfillment of the new promise of technology and the minimization of the dark side, the dystopian futures.

Leaders are encouraged to take personal responsibility to learn about these threats and opportunities and foster a bi-partisan culture of innovation and a commitment to change. Read the full report here.
