<div>Dear Mike,</div>
<div>limestone has been tested by us and it does not affect the pH of the medium. Bamboo chips and charoal have also been used by us.</div>
<div>Yours</div>

<div>Dear Dr. Karve,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Could another medium be used rather than the limestone?</div>
<div>Would the limestone also affect the ph of the reactor?</div>

<div>Dear Grace,</div>
<div> You can convert honey into biogas. If the solution is very dilute, you may have to use the process called anaerobic filter. It consists of packing limestone chips in the digester to increase the surface area of the digester. The methanogenic organisms settle on the chips, and as the honey solution passes through the gaps in the chips, the honey gets converted into methane. <br>
Yours</div>

<div>Hi All,
<div><br></div>
<div>Is a dilute honey stream (from a honey processing plant) a suitable feedstock for a biodigester?</div>
