Projects


Biogas Upgrading using pressure swing adsorption


Project aims to test un-modified biomass materials as potential adsorbents for CO2 capture from biogas mixture. Also, it tests possibility of promoting status of pressure swing adsorption system to operate under nonisothermal and nonadiabatic conditions.
