Dear stovers and biogas lovers, some 40 years ago, a firm called Swastik Rubber Works, located in the city of Pune in India, used to offer a biogas plant made completely out of a flexible rubber bag. Unfortunately, in those days, my concept of using food waste to reduce the size and cost of a biogas plant was not known, and this particular biogas plant, using dung as feedstock, was relatively large and costly, having a total volume of 4 cubic m. When I came up with the concept of a compact biogas plant based on food waste, I tried to contact this firm for a rubber biogas plant of 500 litre capacity. Unfortunately, this company had, in the meanwhile, gone bankrupt. I am still searching for a flexible and portable biogas plant of 500 litre capacity. Yours A.D.Karve
