Burning-off methane at water treatment plants
Re: Burning-off methane at water treatment plants
The big problem with sewers is their function of mixing toxins with everything so that the toxins can not be removed at the treatment plant, leaving us with effluent that goes back polluted into the rivers. Any burning of gases releases toxins into the air and sludge can only be turned into toxic fertilizer. And the methane has already been exhausted up every plumbing stack across the city.
Maybe we need a local treatment facility that captures and uses the biogas.

This doesn't neatly fit in any of the Clean Power Alternatives subforum, so I just stuck it here. . .
Everytime I drive to Western Kansas to visit my folks, I drive by this water treatment plant which is constantly burning off the methane. I suppose it is better than not burning it off but it seems like an horrible waste. There is plenty of open space around. I'm just trying to think of a way for it be used. It would extra cool if I could get rich in the process! Any thoughts?
