Abstract

This research were designed and constructed the biogas purification system and were used with biogas from the Phitsanulok municipal slaughterhouse which produce raw biogas 200-400 cubic meters per day.Initially, the raw biogas was chemically analyzed and found methane (CH4) 64.8%carbondioxide (CO2) 34.9% hydrogensulfide (H2S) 0.06 % nitrogen (N2) 1.2% and water vapour(H2O) 1.7%. Then, the biogas purification system was designed and installed at Phitsanulok municipal slaughterhouse  for used to purify the biogas. Finally,                  the biogas after purified from the system was analyzed as follows: gas flowrate 9.8 cubicmeter perhour, methane (CH4) 85.1%, carbondioxide (CO2) 11.0%, hydrogensulfide (H2S) 0.004 %, nitrogen (N2) 0.7% and water vapour(H2O) 1.0%, which is the benchmark that can be used as renewable fuels, LPG or natural gas.        Keywords : biogas, biogas purification system
