I would add an action item ask to the end of the document.
I would be willing to submit to any paper but the DSMR. I've been working on one for them.
I can think about another author if you'd like.

They take your useable CO and convert it into CO2 and acetate. Is this what you're after?

That will be little more than a week. I have every intention of not digesting and every intention of operating the reactors according to published papers. Digestion is a sloppy process and digestate is very difficult to come by and manage. I'm not interested in moving 10 tens of slop either in or out every day. No, just no. The gasifer provides reliably with no waste afterward, the exact right bacteria will act in the exact right way. I'm not going to make a reactor and then leave the top off for a week and hope the right bacteria shows up.m That sounds counter productive. There are very explicit instructions on the matter and I intend on following them. Peptostreptococcus productus or bust.

My impression is "if you vuildmit, they will come". Anaerobic life has proven ubiquitous, indeed, so wherever conditions are right-- a biogas digester, a stagnant pond, one's own gut-- anaerobes indeed "show up". One may want to gather inoculates from various sources-- cow manure, ground up termites-- and put those things in the digester, but it is not certain that will assist in producing more biogas. Regardless, given that the digester will be a very complex ecosystem exposed to repeated inoculations with incoming material, there is little point in trying to arrange things so that the "livestock" are restricted to a particular set of chosen species. It might be done, but it would require sterilizing incoming material, etc., and it's not clear all that can take place and still have the system be net positive for energy, or indeed anything like as net positive as a "fill and forget" system. d. -- David William House "The Complete Biogas Handbook" www.completebiogas.com <http://www.completebiogas.com/> Vahid Biogas, an alternative energy consultancy www.vahidbiogas.com <http://www.vahidbiogas.com/> "Make no search for water.
