Method
This thesis work consist of two parts; study of literature and experimental work.
Conclusions and discussions based on the experimental results are also presented. The
information sources used in this project are all presented in Chapter 0. Literature
databases used for literature search were Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar,
all three available through Chalmers library.
Experiments were performed using a custom built test rig. It was a small scale model
in an early stage of development towards commercial equipment. It was designed to
demonstrate and investigate the gas separation function and the effect of different
operational parameters such as biogas pressure, biogas mass flow and temperature of
the separation heat exchanger. The experiments were conducted in the department
laboratory using some existing tools and equipment, such as gas analyzers. A
graphical interface used during testing was also developed using National Instruments
commercial software LabVIEW®.
