The Process to Producing Methane Gas

Methane gas is extracted from household waste. This waste goes through several stages to producing methane gas. First of all, the waste is thrown into warming bed to be heated with the result that it will produce hot gas. Then, the hot gas rises to the top of warming bed and flows along the pipe that connected to dirt trap. In the dirt trap, the dirt that contained in the gas is precipitated. After the precipitation, the gas flows along the other pipe that ends in the water that put in the vessel with sealed top. In this stage, we can see the methane bubbles flying in the water. Then, the methane rises to the air in the vessel and flows into the pipe. This pipe is divided into two ways. First pipe goes to the inner tubes that equipped with the weight to increase the pressure. As the result, the methane is ready to use by opening the tap. Other pipe is used for excess gas when pressure high. This pipe ends in the water that put in the vessel with its top open to air.
