Here’s a comparative study of different types of molecular sieves used for CO₂ removal from raw biogas for Compressed Biogas (CBG) production. Selecting the right molecular sieve depends on the biogas composition, desired methane purity, and the operational constraints of the upgrading system. Key Types of Molecular Sieves Type Pore Size Primary Application Advantages Limitations 3A Molecular Sieve 3 Å Water removal (dehydration). Excellent for removing water vapour before CO₂ removal. Ineffective for CO₂ adsorption due to smaller pore size. 4A Molecular Sieve 4 Å CO₂ and water removal in dry biogas streams. Selective adsorption of CO₂ and water. Not suitable for biogas with high H₂S or other impurities. 5A Molecular Sieve 5 Å CO₂ removal and separation of hydrocarbons. ...
