Collaboration Targets Renewable Natural Gas Production

April 5, 2023
System captures and removes inlet gas hydrogen sulfide and reduces chemical purchasing and waste disposal costs.

A collaboration between Rockwell Automation, New Sky Energy and Moore Control Systems, is enabling a more sustainable approach to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) control for the biogas industry.

A significant environmental challenge for many companies is how to manage organic waste. New Sky Energy, based in Boulder, Colorado, develops chemical solutions that help agricultural and industrial companies treat gas emissions, recover valuable chemicals, and convert raw biogas into renewable energy streams.

New Sky Energy supports the renewable natural gas energy sector with a sustainable system for removing H2S from biogas streams. A year after developing and successfully piloting its SulfurSolve process – a transformational H2S capture system – New Sky Energy contracted engineering, procurement, and construction company Moore Control Systems to transition the system to commercial scale.

Moore Control Systems used a Rockwell Automation control platform to create a system that captures and removes more than 99.9% of inlet gas H2S and reduces chemical purchasing and waste disposal costs for H2S control projects by up to 90%.
