G'day Isiaka,
Hydrogen sulphide should be very low unless you are overloading the
digester or are adding sulphur from protein(?). To make sure passing the
gas through a steel wool pack works quite well (it can be regenerated if
necessary). As far as corrosion of the motor you need to consider the
cost of scrubbing (capital, operation and maintenance) compared to the
slightly reduced engine life, accepting that the exhaust gases will be
slightly acidic as well.
Happy digesting,
HOOROO

Dear sir,
I am an Electrical Engineer from Nigeria.
I am working on biogas application on farm and low / middle class homes.
My objective is to use biogas for cooking, running of small power generators
and lighting of gas lamps.
I have accomplished the production of biogas from my biogas digester, and I
have burnt the gas and it gave blue flame.
I have also converted a petrol generator to gas generator with a converter I
bought in country.
I am delaying the test of the generator with biogas because of the corrosive
effect of the gas which I learnt can damage the generator. Also , I want to
protect lives of the stakeholders as the hydrogen sulphide is also poisonous.
I am looking for simplest and easiest do it yourself (DIY) way(s) to eliminate
hydrogen sulphide from biogas and I think you can be of assistance.
I don't mind suggestion of suppliers of any ready made solution.
Please , I am waiting for any assistance or useful information that will help
in realisation of my set objectives.
Thanks for the anticipated assistance and supports.
