Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as Biomethane, originates from organic material such as landfill and feedstock. The process of RNG production contributes to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and harnessing methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere. In this way, RNG is an attractive and sustainable energy source. As with other natural gasses, it is used to generate energy, such as electricity, heat and fuel.
We will explain the production process and how YZ Systems ensures effective RNG odorization and specialized RNG remote monitoring for these applications.
The basic process of converting animal waste and landfill gases into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and distributing it through gas distribution networks involves several steps. Here's an overview of this process and where YZ Systems' odorization and RNG IIoT fit in:
Renewable natural gas production relies on a network of technologies that transform organic waste into a pipeline-ready renewable fuel. YZ Systems is part of Ingersoll Rand, which offers the full range of solutions covering all aspects of the RNG process. The global ecosystem of companies include manufacturers of natural gas compressors, blowers and vacuum solutions for extraction, as well as pumps, loading arms and odorization systems, with integrated specialized IIoT systems for remote monitoring.
Once biogas has been cleaned and upgraded, reliable gas compression becomes essential for processing, storage, transportation, and pipeline injection. Explore how RNG compressors help move biomethane efficiently through the value chain while handling challenging gas compositions and demanding operating conditions.
Modern landfill gas systems do more than control emissions. They transform methane-rich waste gas into a valuable renewable energy resource. Discover the technologies and equipment used to safely extract, capture, and prepare landfill gas for flaring, power generation, or upgrading into renewable natural gas (RNG).
Efficient biogas production depends on every stage of the process, from gas extraction and conditioning to upgrading and compression. Learn how advanced vacuum and compression technologies help maximize methane recovery, improve system reliability, and support the production of high-quality renewable natural gas.
Reliable RNG production relies on accurate chemical dosing across multiple process stages, including anaerobic digestion, gas cleaning, H₂S removal, water treatment, and utility systems. Explore how advanced metering technologies deliver the precision, repeatability, and operational reliability needed to optimize performance, safeguard critical assets, and support long-term renewable gas production.
Moisture, contaminants, and particulates can impact the performance of downstream RNG equipment and infrastructure. Discover why effective drying and filtration are critical for protecting compressors, improving gas quality, and ensuring reliable operation throughout the renewable natural gas process.
Before renewable natural gas can be distributed safely through pipeline networks, proper odorization is essential. Explore how modern odorant injection systems help utilities and operators meet safety requirements, maintain regulatory compliance, and ensure reliable odorant monitoring and control.
As RNG production grows, safe and efficient transfer solutions become increasingly important. Learn how specialized loading arms support the handling of biomethane and renewable gases across truck, rail, marine, and storage applications while improving safety and operational efficiency.
Connected technologies are transforming how renewable gas assets are monitored and managed. Discover how Industrial IoT solutions enable real-time visibility, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision making across biogas and renewable natural gas operations.
