From kitchen waste to alternative source of gas The Philippine STAR, Thursday, March 22, 2007 "The Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) produced an environment-friendly portable biogas digester that can store more than 211 liters of biodegradable kitchen waste which, when processed, can produce 350 liters of biogas for cooking with efficiency similar to regular LPG. The drum-type biogas digester is an airtight, oxygen free vessel fed with organic materials where the microbial digestion takes place to produce the biogas. Materials needed for conversion to gas are kitchen waste and animal manure blended with water." http://www.philstar.com/philstar/show_content.asp?article=307884 -- ********************************************************************** Dr. Ann C.
