The Parker PpTek BioGas ManualKleen (BGMK) is a bio-chemical filtration system engineered to remove siloxanes and other VOCs from landfill and sewage gas in biogas-to-energy applications. As siloxane contamination levels continue to rise in biogas streams, removing these compounds before combustion is essential to prevent engine deposits, protect critical components and maintain operational efficiency.
Installed in the fuel supply line of a biogas-to-energy plant, the BGMK decontaminates landfill and sewage gas before it reaches the engine. When positioned in the main biogas supply, the system can also be used to protect boilers used for heating water at water treatment facilities.
The unit utilises the same Parker PpTek patented media materials as the Parker PpTek BioGas AutoKleen (BGAK), delivering reliable siloxane removal performance. It is supplied with sufficient media to operate for approximately three months without the need for regeneration.
Designed for simplicity and durability, the ManualKleen system features no moving parts, ensuring minimal maintenance and high reliability. Regeneration of the filter cassette is carried out on-site approximately every three months, eliminating filter medium disposal costs and reducing downtime. Stainless steel construction and ATEX approval (Zone 1 or Zone 2) ensure safe operation within hazardous biogas environments.
With a low pressure drop below 5 mb, the system maintains efficient gas flow while providing effective engine and boiler protection.
