[Digestion] water column CO2 scrubbing

[paul.harris at adelaide.edu.au]

G'day Warren,

You won't get enough energy from the roof runoff to run the scrubber,
let alone a compressor (unless you have a very large, very tall building
and a LOT of rain - as in England recently!).

Biogas burns quite well with CO2 in it, so why the extra expense/worry
of scrubbing?

All the best,
HOOROO
