Digestion Archive for May 2000

[owner-digestion@crest.org]

Hello,
   I have a couple questions.  I have been reading this lists archives for 
the last couple weeks now, and I have found alot of great 
information.  However, I cannot seem to access the current lists. the 
newest I can find are september '99.  I have some other questions regarding 
biogas production and use, but I wanted to ask that first.
    I  have been reading alot about using biogas for cooking, heating, 
refridgeration, and electrical generation, but where the heck does one find 
the appliances that will run on biogas?  Also, is there anyone in the US 
who has successfully built a small biogas digestor? Perhaps similar to the 
ones which use plastic bags as digestion chamber?  I mean, what does one do 
in the winter?  I live in Nebraska, so I am thinking, "gee, wouldn't that 
whole set up freeze come December or January?"  It always seems like these 
nice simple do'em your self digestors are all somewhere off in Cambodia, or 
China, or Africa somewhere.  I mean that's wonderfull for them, but I would 
love to see some simple examples of digestors a little closer.  Any body 
have any suggestions?  Thanks so much for your time, I do appreciate 
it.    Janet.
