ABSTRACT
This project concentrates on the design of pressure swing adsorption system for the removal of CO2 and H2S gases from biogas produced. There is large amount of CO2 is present in biogas, removal of which increases the calorific value of the biogas to extent of natural gas. Project also illustrates the potential of different zeolites to adsorb certain gases specifically. So we will be using Zeolite 13X for the removal of CO2 and H2S in the pressure swing
