SH SulphPur® - The efficient solution for biogas desulfurization

Highly efficient technology for modern biomethane plants

The SH SulphPur® Bio-moisture bed reactor is the ideal choice for operators of biomethane plants who focus on sustainable and cost-efficient gas treatment. Developed with state-of-the-art technology, this system offers outstanding performance in removing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from biogas and significantly contributes to reducing operating costs.

Benefits of SH SulphPur®

Extremely low energy and water consumption

SH SulphPur® sets new standards in resource conservation. Water consumption is minimal, and energy requirements are significantly reduced through optimized operational processes.

High efficiency in desulfurization

The system achieves an H₂S removal of up to 99.8%, enabling clean and efficient gas treatment.

High conversion rate into elemental sulfur

Around 80% of the H₂S is converted into elemental sulfur, which can be further used or disposed of as a byproduct.

No danger of blockage

Thanks to the innovative reactor design, the system operates smoothly at all times without any disruptions. Blockage of the packing material, as can occur in conventional desulfurization systems, is eliminated.

Economic efficiency and sustainability

Low oxygen demand and optimized processes lead to a significant reduction in operating costs, while the environment is protected by sustainable technology.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about SH SulphPur®

How does the conversion of H₂S into elemental sulfur work in SH SulphPur®?

SH SulphPur® uses special microorganisms that biologically convert hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) into elemental sulfur. This process takes place in a bio-trickling filter reactor, where the gas is passed through packing material colonized by microorganisms. The sulfur is then deposited as a solid byproduct, which can be easily disposed of or further utilized.

What oxygen demand does SH SulphPur® have?

The system requires only a small amount of oxygen as it is based on a highly optimized biological process. The oxygen demand is approximately 0.2 to 0.7% (depending on the H2S content) of the gas volume, which is significantly lower than conventional desulfurization processes. This not only reduces operating costs but also the effort required for oxygen supply.

What is the typical sulfur load that SH SulphPur® can handle?

SH SulphPur® is designed for medium to high H₂S concentrations. It can handle loads of up to 11,000 ppm (parts per million), making it ideal for biogas plants with particularly high requirements for gas quality.

What maintenance requirements does the biohumid bed reactor have?

Maintenance effort for the SulphPur® system is low. Every 6 to 12 months (depending on the H2S content), a reactor and system maintenance takes place. Optionally, a maintenance contract from SH SULPHTEC can be arranged.
