[Digestion] Sugar feedstock

[Anand Karve]

Dear Tony,
I was the one who invented the urban household biogas plant which uses
food waste as feedstock. This plant can produce biogas from starch,
sugar, cellulose, fat, digestible protein or a combination of these
ingredients. Your figures show that you have access to daily about 7
to 10 kg sugar. You would need a floating dome type of biogas plant
having digester capacity of 10 cubic meters and gas holder capacity of
about 7 to 8 cubic meters. In India, we can buy plastic water tanks of
these capacities. We sell a video CD which shows, step by step, how to
construct a biogas plant from two plastic water tanks. Thousands of
people have constructed their own biogas plants by following our
instructions.
Yours
A.D.Karve
