methane extraction process

Household waste is not just an invaluable waste; we can get methane gas, which can be used as alternative energy source, from the extraction of household waste. The extraction process is begun when the waste is loaded into the warming bed. From this warming bed, the waste will be distributed for two different usages, as a fertilizer and as a material for the methane extraction. In the second phase of the process, methane gas, which is contained by waste, is transported into the dirt trap container. The dirt trap will cause the methane is separated from other substances of the waste. Then, the methane gas is supplied into top-sealed gas indicator. Methane gas will combined with water inside this equipment, so we can see methane bubbles are formed in the water. After that, the methane gas will be supplied to pressure release equipment. This equipment is full of water with no sealed-top. The methane distribution pipe splits at this phase, first “branch” pipe is inserted into the water with its end is 8 cm below the water surface. This pipe is used as a “drain” of excess methane gas when the pressure of the system is high. The second “branch” pipe will distribute the methane gas into the gas holder (a set of inner tubes with weight to increase the pressure of gas). While the methane gas passes the pipe of gas holder, its pressure will be increased. At the end of this pipe, there is a tap which controls the output flow of the extracted methane gas.
