Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am a researcher and entrepreneur at Carnegie Mellon University and I am<br>
working on how to share the knowledge and benefits of simple AD systems<br>
with Americans.<br>
<br>
My team has been investigating the possibility of converting commercial<br>
food waste to biogas in a low-tech 250 gallon digester, and then scrubbing<br>
that biogas ourselves into biomethane.<br>
<br>
We want to hold events or cook-outs where local chefs could cook great food<br>
using biomethane.<br>
<br>
To do this in our area the best way to share this biomethane with others is<br>
to drive it to a local gathering.<br>
<br>
What do you all think the safest way to go about transporting this<br>
biomethane on the road would be? If we were to invest in a low-cost biogas<br>
inflatable (ie. PVC) and house this bag inside of a large plastic enclosure<br>
would this be relatively safe?<br>
<br>
We want to share this technology and its benefits with others!<br>
<br>
Can you help us figure this problem out?<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
-- Jake Douenias<br>

Dear Jake,<br>
One can fill non-pressurised pure methane into inflatable bags and<br>
transport it, but in this form you have to cary large volumes of it.<br>
Secondly, you would have to use pressure for getting the methane from<br>
the bag into your cookstoves. It would be easier If you could use<br>
pressure at the facility where you produced the methane, and filled it<br>
into rigid cylinders. Not only would the volume be reduced but the gas<br>
would flow easily from the cylinder into the burners of the stove. We<br>
have tested this concept as an experiment, using LPG cylinders as<br>
containers and a pesticide pump for filling the cylinders.<br>
Yours<br>
A.D.Karve<br>
