my first biogas digester

[daftlad]

I sent a pm to pete at listerclones at the begining of august about this and he said something about hackers or something, and that he would sort it, I have tried a few times to visit his website but it always comes up with this message.

Ah well now we are on page 3 I can see whats going on now.

Are you perchance using that infernal "Chrome" offering from Google?

As I no longer have access to the server on which this forum resides, I am unable to jump through sufficient "Googlehoops" to prove to them that I have the right to speak with them with any authority about this forum........ as such, I've done all I feasibly can to remove the "offending" article (I've painstakingly removed every reference to the "xxxxx.co.uk" that I can find), BUT, I am unable to gain entry to the great Google grovellers hall so that I may genuflect before the great God Google, and tearfully implore them to restore our pristine reputation, so I will send messages in the appropriate direction (the East, I believe), in the vain hope that they may understand what needs doing, and get off their (language Timothy!), and get it sorted - eventually (but don't hold your breath!)

I use firefox. 
I see the link on the listerclones info page now takes you nowhere (well it just opens anothe tab of the info page.)
Listerclones can't be doing so well if they arn't fixing there link?

Quote “ Once the gas is produced does it need to separated or cleaned at all before in can be burned for heat and power? “

On larger / medium scale systems the pipe work is generally stainless steel to reduce corrosion problems, If the hydrogen sulphide content H2S increases or the moister content is not controlled even stainless steel valves designed specifically for bio gas will fail in a very short space of time. A fall in the pipe work along its length to allow water to run to a water separator ( float device that when the float lifts the water is drained ) is required at the lowest point. The calorific value of the gas will vary immensely depending on the product being digested. In the boiler that the Bio gas is being used, it is normal to have a pilot flame from a stable calorific source ( Propane / Natural gas ) then introduce the bio gas after the pilot flame is established.

On small scale systems, digester / gas ring keep things close with lots of ventilation.

The Legal bit, don’t play if you don’t know what your doing.

I really wouldn't blame them - many small companies rely on "doing the website themselves", or getting a mate to do it on the cheap - once it's up and running, unless you can afford silly money, websites tend to be "left to it" while the owners "get on with business"
I had a filthy argument with a server company recently on this very subject - they had insisted on a ludicrously long and complex password to allow me access to server space that I'd had access to for 7 years with my simple and rememberable "one password fits all" that I have indelibly etched into my memory...... instead, they insist on 2 different, highly complex passwords, one for their "account details" website, and another for ftp....... what have I had to do? - write the new passwords down so I don't lose them - security totally blown...... The arrogant little pimply informed me that it was "for security", and could not get it through his dim apology for braincells that it was LESS secure, and then proceeded to REALLY get the hump when I pointed out that despite their new "Glastonbury style 14' high cannon-shell impermeable fence", two of my sites had been hacked, with similar results to what happened to Pete's........
A "bot" injects a bit of code into the bowels of your site, and it's a so-and-so to find, Google is great at labelling the entire site as unsafe, but do bog all to pinpoint the problems - you have to painstakingly search through pages of code
(your time and expense), THEN go through the grovelling procedure........
If you use a simple programme like the execrable Front Page, the likelihood of your having the knowledge to find the dodgy code is remote in the extreme.
Neither Google or server companies particularly in my good books at the moment!

Are you perchance using that infernal "Chrome" offering from Google?

Er yes

I like its features.

[martin]

Thank heavens for that! Am now running only Linux, and couldn't reproduce the problem using Firefox or Konqueror, so guessed it was probably Chrome, which goes off like a nun who's had her b*m pinched at anything Google reckons has been within a thousand miles of a hacked page!

ps, has my editing stopped it doing it's "it will set your granny afire" act?

I know this is a REALLY old thread but I just thought I'd post up.

Is there anyone still experimenting? If so I can give you some proper culture for a digester as opposed to just cow muck. It works best at blood temp or higher though.

[julian]

ive just started reading here about digestors -

by 'proper culture' do you meen you know whats in it? : )

It's more that I know where it has come from. It is out of an existing digester at a factory using brewery waste.

[Ivan]

That's a kind offer.

It's a shame, at the moment I haven't got time to do any digester experiments, but it's still on my list of projects to do when I've got some spare time...
