Abstract

A process for producing high purity methane gas from digested or composted organic materials as well as a high purity methane gas generation system that operates in accordance with this process are provided. The inventive system, which is capable of delivering at least about 0.5 slpm of methane product gas, is streamlined in design and provides a more reliable and cost-effective source of renewable methane gas.
