MEMBER PRESS RELEASE: Demo Video Showcases Turnkey Containerised Oxygen Generation System for Biogas Plants
Atlas Copco has released a new video demonstrating its latest turnkey containerised oxygen generation system, engineered specifically to support the specific needs of biogas plant operators. The system was recently built to replace an older installation at a customer site, delivering improved efficiency and offering enhanced protection for downstream equipment.
The container houses a complete, self‑contained oxygen generation package, including feed air compression, air treatment, an oxygen generator, automation and control systems, safety components, and full remote connectivity. This integrated design ensures reliable, continuous oxygen production without the footprint or complexity of a traditional plant‑room installation.
In biogas applications, oxygen plays a crucial role in protecting critical assets. Operators dose oxygen to oxidise hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) before it can corrode compressors, pipelines, engines, and other key equipment. Continuous oxygen dosing provides a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to chemical dosing, reducing costs while avoiding the handling and environmental impacts associated with traditional treatment chemicals.
The newly released video takes viewers inside the container to see how the system operates, showcasing the equipment layout and the benefits of a plug‑and‑play oxygen solution. Atlas Copco also highlights its wider offering for the biogas value chain, which includes compressed air blowers, CO₂ and biomethane compressors, oxygen generation systems, pipework, and service support. The company provides both containerised and skid‑mounted oxygen generation packages capable of delivering a stable, continuous supply with purities of up to 95%.
Atlas Copco aims to support both existing operators and those developing new biogas facilities by helping reduce operational costs, improve environmental performance, and achieve cleaner, safer, more reliable biogas production. The company invites plant operators to get in touch for equipment sizing, technical guidance, or a deeper look at its full capabilities, including its eBook on compressed air and oxygen for biogas production.
