See the anaerobic digestion list.
http://listserv.repp.org/mailman/listinfo/digestion_listserv.repp.org
List archives are
http://listserv.repp.org/pipermail/digestion_listserv.repp.org/

List moderator is professor Paul Harris, University of Adelaide. See his
Biogas Wiki http://biogas.wikispaces.com/ and Beginner's Guide to Biogas
http://www.adelaide.edu.au/biogas/ Paul is particularly good at small
scale digestion. 

There has been considerable discussion about small scale digesters in
recent years. We have hosted the list since abut 1998.  

On the stoves website (www.bioenergylists.org) go to "Stoves" and select
"biogas" You can find a recent manual for small scale rural biogas in
Spanish at http://www.bioenergylists.org/taxonomy/term/175/all You will
also find the ARTI Compact Biogas digester that has been popular in many
places now around the world.

Hi Ron, or whomever else this message is sent to,

I'm an Architect outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who has been
developing a small-scale, easily installed biogas digester system.  I
anticipate applicability in developed and developing countries.  I
logged onto the Stoves-list a month or so ago, and have found it very
interesting, as I'm looking for output devices that could burn biogas,
or wood, based on availability.

My question is that I'd like to find a list, or group, associated with
small scale biogas plants, similar to the stoves group.  Similarly, does
ETHOS have any conferences, or other events, centered around digesters?
I was a Buckminster Fuller Challenge Grant finalist (not winner) and am
looking to get the concept into detailed development.  I'd like to base
the system's details on real world experience.

Any ideas, or contacts, would be appreciated.

Doug Seiler

Hi all (2 lists)

    There are perhaps100 persons at the ETHOS conference.  My impression
is that all are pleased to be here - a well managed conference..  I was
last here about 5 years ago and have see a lot of progress in the stoves
area.  Probably 80-90% of the attendees know about the stoves list.  Tom
Miles has received a lot of deserved credit for his part in helping
stoves (and biochar) progress.

    Biochar has been fairly prominent - even in the very first session
yesterday.  But it is not the main topic of course and lots of attendees
not up to speed on the topic yet.   My guess is that there are about 10
persons here who are biochar list members.  Thee will be some
demonstrations later today - and expecting charcoal-making stove demos
by Paul Anderson and Nat Mulcahey (possibly another 6-8 demos of
ordinary stoves??)  

    More later.  Any questions?      Ron
