extracting methane gas

Extracting methane gas from household waste

Methane gas is one of the residue, or gas that resulted from a chemical process. To extract this gas, we have to through so many processes, first, waste from household is colleted or kept in a place called warming bed. In this container, waste is change into methane, and the rest is released as a benefical composition called fertilizer. Then fertilizer can be used for plant to grow up. Second, the methane from warming bed go to the dirt trap. In this container, methane through a process that makes the methane is separated between the dirt and the methane itself, the dirt then released through a release cap, while the methane continues its journey passes the pipes to the next stop.

The next stop, or the third step is gas indicator, where the methane is dissolved in water and change into methane bubbles. In this place, there is a sealed top in order to keep the methane stay in the tube. The fourth step is pressure release. In this process, methane is extracted into gases. There is excess gas when the pressure high. Methane got certain pressure and temperature, that caused the excess of gas. The last process is Gas Holder. It is in form of inner tube, which has a weight to increase gas pressure, gas from the tube then released through the tap and became “methane gas”. This gas is safety and has less toxic than the waste from household.
