Air Liquide
Rockford
In early April 2023, Waga Energy delivered two cryogenic distillation columns to Air Liquide for a biomethane production unit under construction in the United States. These 8 -tons equipment, called “cold boxes”, are used to separate methane from the air gases (oxygen and nitrogen). The two cold boxes, manufactured in the Grenoble area, were shipped by sea to the Winnebago landfill in Rockford, Illinois. There, they will be assembled with several other equipment on skids manufactured by Waga Energy in Canada.
The completed cryogenic distillation modules will then be coupled with membrane filtration equipment manufactured by Air Liquide to form a large capacity biomethane production unit (380 GWh/year or 1,300,000 mmBTU).
The result of ten years of R&D at Air Liquide and Waga Energy, the WAGABOX® is a breakthrough landfill gas upgrading technology. It combines two upgrading processes: membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation. Membrane filtration removes the carbon dioxide (CO2) and impurities from landfill gas. The gas is then cryogenically cooled to separate the methane (CH4) from the oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2). WAGABOX® technology guarantees grid compliant biomethane regardless of air concentration in landfill gas. It adapts to raw gas flow rates and composition variations and delivers three times more energy than CHP, the most approaching competing technology. Biomethane can be transported and stored using existing gas infrastructure. The solution is fully integrated and is protected worldwide by six patent families.
