<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>My name is Musungu Wycliffe. We
are looking to build a large biogas plant of about 600m3 to process what comes
out of the Bio-centres that are running on human waste in a slum area called
Kibera in Kenya. We are looking to produce two products for the market; 1) Enriched
Biogas for household use and 2) Fertilizer for agricultural use. In the process
we would like to undertake some tests on enrichment through removal of Co2. We
would thus like to request that you consider supplying us with this test unit
to undertake gas tests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear All, (you can forward this to others
who might be interested.)<br>

The message below is a compilation of information about a Varian Gas
Chromoatograph (GC) unit that is available as a donation to a worthy
recipient. All contacts should be directed to Mr. Jere
Hitchcock of Atlanta, GA, who has the unit.<br>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>It is very similar to
the 3400 series in this section. You can get a good front view of the
unit on the 3400. Looks almost exactly like that one. Your can read
up on the unit and how it works. Basically it sends a slug of gas into
the unit and it travels some 50 foot (maybe 50 yards depends on column) inside
a copper column. The material in the column divides and slows down the
various components in the gaseous mix. And ionizes (burns) the
product at exit. This produces an electrical signal which is proportional
to the volume of the product and the molecular weight. As I remember the
lighter compounds are first out the heavier ones are last out.. this gives you
a volume (shown in the Y axis) of each gas (or compound) in the mix and the
location on the graph (on the x axis) determines the compound. Pretty
simple concept.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

then inserted into the gc. they can be rooms apart or miles apart. this is an

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Jere
allowed me to compile and edit his messages and to send them to the Listservs,
etc. He told me it is about 2 x 2 x 2 feet (cube), maybe 100 lbs,
and perhaps 10 years old, and in working condition (he has checked the boards,
etc.)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Let
me [Jere] know your interest. I can possibly look up the column which is
currently in the unit and you can cross that to see if it will separated the
compounds you are interested in defining. If not, you can get a column which
meets your requirements. It will require some carrier gas and that
is measured and delivered by the needle valves on the front of the
instrument. I do not know what other items you may need. Some of
the units are equipped with a printer this prints the graph which comes out as
the compounds are ionized. This unit does not have one. Maybe you have
one [printer] which will work ???? At one time this was in the 5
figures of cost. My price is FREE. It has some value as scrap metal
as it contains some copper and other metals. Best wishes, Jere</span><o:p></o:p></p>
