More Information
Summary:Method and apparatus for the production of hydrogen and other gaseous or liquid substances (such as 2,3-butanediol) formed with the help of microbes in conditions where the normal microbial metabolism (catabolism and anabolism) has been restricted by pH or temperature, for example. Then carbon is not liberated into gaseous phase as fast as in more common microbial reactions. Carrier gas directed into organic waste or other biomass is helping in liberating molecular hydrogen into gaseous phase with the aid of microbial enzymes or electric phenomena at the same time when new hydrogen is binding into the biomass from water. Removed gases or combustion gases from the incineration plants can be directed back into bioprocess in some process alternatives, together with lowering total carbon emission by these means. The production plant is planned in such a way that it can be situated in the midst of inhabitation.
