Greetings,
Bio methane and propane use the same orifice, store bought natural gas uses
a different one. The pressure of the system and the regulator are also
different.

So now I'm confused. Is the orifice for methane the same as natural gas or
the same as propane. It looks like claims have been made for both cases
here????/

Greetings,
This is correct. Appliances come in either natural gas or propane models
and the orifice is part of the reason. The other reason is the pressure
requirements for the regulators. The appliances can be changed to burn
the other fuel, if you make the change in the orifice and regulator.

Um, wait a minute here, natural gas is methane, and there is a
difference between an orifice for natural gas (methane) and one for propane.

Greetings,
If you talk to a reputable gas man, the orifice for methane is the same
one used for propane, not Natural gas. Also, the pressure of the gas
through the regulator is the same for propane and methane, but natural
gas is different again. To use homemade methane, use propane appliances
not natural gas.

Natural Gas = methane + Odorant;
Bio methane just methane + some CO2 and impurities from the
decomposition process.
So any NG appliance will run on Bio Decomposed methane.
Its just that is very difficult to liquefy NG (-200C like temps).

As I understand it, methane (which can be produced from rotting
waste) can be burned in most propane appliances with the appropriate
slight modifications.
>Is propane a "Bio" fuel, can it be created from "bio" sources?
