Siloxanes, commonly found in landfill-derived biogas, are compounds that, when burned, form silicon dioxide. This deposition leads to significant wear and tear on engine components, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. ANKA Enerji’s system effectively removes up to 99% of siloxanes, thus safeguarding engine parts from abrasive damage and prolonging their operational life.

The system’s economic benefits are equally impressive. Facilities utilizing this advanced technology have reported dramatic reductions in operational costs. Specifically, the maintenance expenses are cut by approximately $13,000 per megawatt per year, while the costs for spare parts decrease by about $56,500 per megawatt per year. Additionally, the reduction in engine downtime prevents production losses and power reductions, translating into further savings of $21,500 and $51,000 per megawatt per year, respectively.
