[Gasification] Got you calculators handy??

Dear Tom Miles
	Although Digestion is a possibility it is a slow methodology, taking
some 22 days to complete the cycle of retrieval of the Biogas. IF you look
to really extract the potential Ethanol carbon elements into useable Ethanol
then look to the BTL using the known practice of the Fischer Tropf process.
Add in some extra Hydrogen via steam reforming and you get a better output
of ethanol then through distillery.

Michael,

The only use of the reference was to identify the yield of ethanol per kg of
maize which is similar to other sources. Their number is 0.371 L/kg grain
compared with 0.406 L/kg from another source.

The more interesting point is the energy that can be recovered from the
distillers grains and solubles (DGS) via digestion.

Thanks

Tom
