Busch do Brasil launches vacuum system with R5 RA 1600 rotary vane pumps, optimizing biomethane processes and power generation with high energy efficiency.
Busch do Brasil has introduced an advanced vacuum system that uses R5 RA 1600 rotary vane pumps. This system is designed to improve biogas extraction and compression processes, contributing substantially to the generation of renewable energy. With high energy efficiency, the solution seeks to optimize each stage of production and production of oxygen and hydrogen.
Busch’s new technology addresses the previously existing gap in the efficiency of biogas processes. The implementation of this vacuum system enables a significant reduction in energy consumption, while simultaneously increasing the productivity and reliability of industrial processes. With this, Busch do Brasil reaffirms its commitment to providing advanced solutions for a sustainable future.
Busch Vacuum Solutions, a global leader in vacuum technology and a wholly owned subsidiary of Busch SE, is bringing a significant innovation to the Brazilian market: a vacuum system consisting of rotary vane vacuum pumps lubricated with R5 RA 1600 oil.

Advances in Vacuum Technology
Developed to meet the growing need for more efficient and reliable biomethane processes, this innovation from the German multinational aims to raise performance and safety standards in the sector. The R5 RA 1600 vacuum pumps play a key role in purifying and separating CO2 from methane present in biogas produced in landfills or biomass digesters.
Crucial Role in Biogas Purification
The technology facilitates the refinement of methane for various uses, including the generation of electrical energy or use as a fuel with characteristics similar to natural gas. This vacuum system performs the purification and separation of biomethane as part of the vacuum pressure swing adsorption process, known as Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA).
Various Industrial Applications
Thus, the R5 RA 1600 vacuum pump is integrated into the system that executes the VPSA process, separating specific gases from the gas mixture under vacuum, using the physical characteristics of adsorbents – materials that capture molecules of a specific gas on their surface. This system is applicable in several industrial processes that require purification, such as in production of oxygen and hydrogen, carbon dioxide removal and in the treatment of gas emissions.
Commitment to Precision Engineering
'This innovation is a remarkable example of a precision-engineered solution from Busch Group, developed based on decades of experience and a strong commitment to research and development. It has contributed to setting new standards in vacuum technology,' says Achim Lessel, CEO of Busch do Brasil. He highlights that biomethane production requires robust and efficient equipment, designed to meet the specific challenges associated with biogas purification and compression.
High Flow Capacity
'The R5 RA 1600 rotary vane vacuum pump has been specifically designed to meet these needs, ensuring consistent vacuum performance essential for optimising biomethane production. Efficiency depends on a high flow capacity, which is the volume of gas pumped per unit of time. With a nominal flow rate of 1.000 m³/h, the R5 RA 1600 pump is essential to meet this demand,' says Achim Lessel.
Energy Efficiency and Low Environmental Impact
Among the main benefits of the solution, its energy efficiency stands out. The vacuum system is composed of R5 RA 1600 pumps, which use advanced technologies to ensure minimum energy consumption. In addition, it is possible to include an optional variable speed drive, which further reduces operating costs and environmental impact. Another positive point is that the R5 RA 1600 pump operates exceptionally quietly, promoting a more pleasant and efficient working environment. compliance with industry noise standards.
Sustainability and Real-Time Monitoring
The solution was designed to continuous operation with minimal maintenance, also featuring an option of IoT for real-time monitoring. 'The Busch Group is committed to sustainability and the development of solutions that help companies meet environmental challenges. A vacuum system consisting of R5 RA 1600 vacuum pumps represents a significant step forward in this mission, offering products that not only meet but exceed our customers' performance and energy efficiency expectations', concludes Achim Lessel.
Local Manufacturing and Support
Vacuum systems are manufactured at the Busch plant in Brazil by local specialists, according to the specific needs of each application. As is typical of Busch products, the vacuum system is supported by a vast national service network, ensuring rapid resolution of any technical issues.
Busch do Brasil offers a wide range of vacuum pumps and systems, designed for optimize energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and improve the flexibility and reliability of VPSA processes.
