I can throw out some loose figures for a cubic yard of
manure.Without knowing the urine content and how much carbon in the form of
straw-cellulistic materials are involved, they will be ballpark figures only.It
seems to me the manure would be better utilized in a digester.A cubic yard would
Hi there,
The info is great Stephen, I have a question you may have an answer for.
How do I separate the CO2 from the methane, in an inexpensive manner? My
goal is about 98% methangas...any ideas? Does anyone know of any
supplier of compressors capable of 3000psi or so? I would like to clean

Eric,
At least you are on the
right path and adopting the right approach. Talking to the guy at the NREL saved

Keith,
I know
nothing about quasi-portable ethanol plants using acid, catalyst and steam
treatment in globe shaped pressure vessels to obtain sugars but virtually
all the successful processes so far use a combination of these systems to
acheive success with variable results. At the end of
