There are four methods for biogas purification, namely absorption method, pressure swing adsorption method, low-temperature condensation method and membrane separation method.

吸收提纯法是利用有机胺溶液（一级胺、二级胺、三级胺、空间位阻胺等）与二氧化碳的物理化学吸收特性来实现的，即在吸收塔内的加压、常温条件下与沼气中的二氧化碳发生吸收反应进行脱碳提纯甲烷，吸收富液在再生塔内的减压、加热条件下发生逆向解析反应，释放出高纯度的二氧化碳气体，同时富液得到再生具备重新吸收二氧化碳的能力，从而实现沼气在吸收塔内的连续脱碳提纯甲烷过程，并使得脱碳液进行连续的吸收、再生循环工作。

The absorption and purification method is realized by using the physicochemical absorption characteristics of organic amine solution (primary amine, secondary amine, tertiary amine, steric amine, etc.) and carbon dioxide, that is, it reacts with carbon dioxide in biogas under pressure and normal temperature in the absorption tower to decarbonize and purify methane, and absorb the decompression and purification of rich liquid in the regeneration tower The reverse analytical reaction occurs under heating conditions to release high-purity carbon dioxide gas. At the same time, the rich liquid is regenerated and has the ability to re absorb carbon dioxide, so as to realize the continuous decarburization and purification of methane in the absorption tower, and make the decarburized liquid carry out continuous absorption and regeneration cycle.

变压吸附提纯法是利用吸附剂（如分子筛等）对二氧化碳的选择性吸附特点, 即在吸附剂上二氧化碳相对其他气态组分有较高的分离系数, 来达到对沼气中二氧化碳进行脱除的目的。

PSA purification method uses the selective adsorption characteristics of adsorbents (such as molecular sieves) for carbon dioxide, that is, carbon dioxide has a higher separation coefficient than other gaseous components on the adsorbent to achieve the purpose of removing carbon dioxide from biogas.

在吸附过程中，原料气在加压条件下其中的二氧化碳被吸附在吸附塔内，甲烷等其他弱吸附性气体作为净化气排出，当吸附饱和后将吸附柱减压甚至抽成真空使被吸附的二氧化碳释放出来。为了保证对气体的连续处理要求，变压吸附法至少需要两个吸附塔, 也可是三塔、四塔或更多。

During the adsorption process, the carbon dioxide in the feed gas is adsorbed in the adsorption tower under pressurized conditions, and other weakly adsorbed gases such as methane are discharged as purified gas. When the adsorption is saturated, the adsorption column is depressurized or even vacuumized to release the adsorbed carbon dioxide. In order to ensure the continuous treatment of gas, PSA requires at least two adsorption towers, or three towers, four towers or more.
