Design of liquefaction process of biogas using Aspen HYSYS simulation

The liquefaction of biogas appears to be an appropriate solution in cases where logistics constraints arise due to the absence of a transportation network. In liquid form, biomethane is easy to transport to its point of use. Aspen HYSYS, computer-aided process design programs, widely used in chem...
