Howdy Vorts,
To add thoughts to Jones green machine post.
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a process used in wastewater treating to
remove the final remaining fine solids from treated sewage water .
The process entails adding liquid polymer and air as the wastewater is
pumped into a settling tank. The polymer and air bonds to the solids and
float to the surface where a skimmer sweeps off the foam and the processed
( near clear) water travels to the chlorination basin for disinfecting. A
vegetable based near jell could be substituted for the polymer and a soil
activator added for growth stimulation of the skimmed foam to be pumped into
an algae pond. Seem that a gas turbine engine would suffice as well as a
Jones Beene Caterpilar diesel engine and make lotsa CO 2.bubbling up.
Years ago a fellow working as a brakeman on SPRR between San Antonio and LA
noticed the huge and amazing growth of algae ponds out in the wet spot slues
in the desert of Arizona. He dipped a bucket of mud "culture" from the pond
and cultured a liquid stimulator sold worldwide today called "Medina". Could
it be that such existing technology be used in developing a biomass gas and
liquid extraction plant without using corn ? We have the sewer plant but
where's the beef?
