What Is a Biogas Storage Membrane?
A biogas storage membrane is a flexible, reinforced and gas-tight membrane material used to store, contain and regulate biogas produced during anaerobic digestion. It is commonly used in biogas digesters, gas holders, fermentation tanks, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural biogas plants and industrial renewable energy projects.
DERFLEX biogas storage membranes are manufactured using high-strength polyester base fabric coated with advanced PVC, PVDF or gas-barrier coating systems. This structure provides mechanical strength, low gas permeability, chemical resistance, UV stability and reliable welding performance.
