Bio-methane is a flammable renewable energy resource processed an-aerobically from biomass which includes municipal wastes, farm animal wastes, and vegetable/food wastes among others. The raw bio-methane produced contains methane gas and some contaminants like Carbondioxide (CO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), moisture and other trace compounds in varying quantities depending on the source and type of substrate materials. Many researchers have used synthetic and manufactured packing materials for scrubbing biogas which are expensive and needed regeneration for economic purposes. But the use of palm kernel shell as packing material in a packed bed for scrubbing biogas is an innovation for modern technology which proved to be very suitable for biogas scrubbing.
