My company has ethanol plant, one of its utilities facility is a methane reactor. this methane reactor is using microbilogy living in sludge and kept in a huge tank. at the end it generate methane gas to be burn in to boiler engine. do you know any plant that use the same technology?

OK, i'll wait for you. so you have an electrical background. do you know something about solar cell? i have been offered to a solar cell that can generate power 100WP for Rp 9 Million, do you think it's cheap?

I have heard of this and that people are researching it in hopes of using it to power our cars, heaters, airconditioners and other things that we do not want to live without. This could be a wonderful advance!

i hate my computer. i have typed so many sentences to reply yours. but then it disappeared. i need to retype, again. well dragon, it's actually not a new technology at all. especially in a developed country. but we use it since we need to recyle our liquid waste to be energy, at the end we can save some of our power energy needed. if you have any literature or article about any plants in your country does such things. please share here. thx u

I got mad at my computer, too, but quickly realized that myLot was having a nervous breakdown or something. I'm glad they finally fixed it!
