Hi,

The points being made concerning the explosions appear quite valid.  Further
information, as it becomes available, will be helpful.

Flour mills and such are quite dangerous. What appears to happen is that the
1st explosion, the primary one, might be a small explosion, which will
probably shake loose quite a bit of powder from the structures, the supports
and so on. Pretty soon, one can have a highly explosive, fluidized, mixture,
which will also ignite but with a much bigger force.

All problems are opportunities, really. So, perhaps the engineers and
technologists involved in biogas work could offer assistance farther down
the process line and help the clients review their safety precautions. It
might work out good both from one's reputation and from the monetary point
of view.

Keep up the good conversations.
