Energy Generation from
Bioreactor Hydrogen
 HUBBARD,
OH -- NanoLogix, Inc. a nano-biotechnology company announced
it has achieved an historical event with the first onsite
generation of electricity using hydrogen gas produced from
its bioreactor prototype facility at Welch Foods Inc., a
Cooperative in Pennsylvania.
A 5.5 kW generator converted to
run on hydrogen was utilized for the demonstration. The
generator ran flawlessly on hydrogen gas produced by
NanoLogix’s hydrogen bioreactor system and powered multiple
strings of 100-watt light bulbs.
“To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first time in history that electricity has been
generated anywhere onsite using hydrogen produced through
the use of bacteria to digest waste”, said Harry Diz,
Department Chair and Professor of Environmental Engineering
at Gannon University and NanoLogix Bioreactor Development
chief.
Paul Zorzie, Welch’s Engineering
Manager, stated, “Welch’s is happy to provide the site at
which this groundbreaking research into generating
alternative energy from waste is taking place. We look
forward to the potential of building upon these developments
to scale up and use this energy for our operation.”
Bret Barnhizer, Chairman and CEO
of NanoLogix, stated, “We are delighted at the results of
the work by Professor Diz and associates and anticipate
potential upscaling of the Welch’s operation to commercial
bioreactor status. The Welch’s development enabling
conversion of sugar from their wastewater stream to produce
hydrogen has contributed immeasurably to ongoing research
and development for processing other types of waste streams.
Linked to that development and following our business plan
for expansion, in the spring of 2008 we intend to begin
bioreactor construction at the Erie Wastewater Treatment
Plant for the extraction of hydrogen from their protein-rich
activated sludge waste stream.”
About NanoLogix, Inc.
NanoLogix is an industry
innovator in the research, development, and
commercialization of nano-biotechnologies, applications and
processes. The Company has developed and owns or has rights
to 31 patents related to various medical technologies, 5 of
which also have hydrogen-generation aspects.

The "Juggler" First to Meet
New NSF Protocol
ANN ARBOR, MI -- NSF
International today announced the development of a new
protocol that addresses the health impact and
environmental protection of septic tank and grease trap
(solid and liquid) separating technology. Labrie
Environmental Group is the first manufacturer to certify
its pumping and liquid-solid separating system to the
protocol.
NSF Protocol P340: Septic
Tank or Grease Trap Solid and Liquid Separating Devices
was developed for equipment that separate septic waste
solids from liquids in septic tanks or grease and solids
from liquids in grease traps. The protocol contains
requirements to evaluate the materials, design,
manufacturing, and performance of these types of
equipment.
Typical servicing of septic
tanks or grease traps involves transporting a large
volume of water to a disposal facility. Technologies
have been developed to separate the solids from the
liquids in septic tanks and grease traps, and then
return the “treated water.” P340 now provides a means to
test the effectiveness and efficacy of these devices.
“P340 establishes
requirements that will improve the efficiency of septic
tank and grease trap solids collection to help meet the
needs of public health and environmental regulators,”
said Bob Ferguson, Vice President, NSF Water Systems.
“At the same time, this protocol also provides a
potential cost savings for septic tanks and grease trap
operators.”
Juggler™ is the first
technology and equipment to meet the stringent
requirements of NSF Protocol P340 and bear the NSF
certification mark. Juggler™ is a pumping and
liquid-solid separating system that services grease
traps and septic tanks with no chemicals.
"Labrie clearly demonstrates
to the industry its commitment to environmental quality
by being the first company certified to the new NSF
Protocol P340," said Eric Tremblay, Vice President,
Sales & Marketing, Labrie Environmental Group. "NSF is
the most recognized organization to certify both the
food and liquid waste industries, so it was important
for us to earn this for the Juggler.”
P340 was developed by an
expert panel of public health and environmental health
professionals.

Mr. Loh wants with his anaerobic lagoon:
We have a 5200 m3, low rate
covered anaerobic lagoon (CAL) servicing a population of
7000. It's fed with secondary sludge at 47m3/day and:
- Average operating
temperatures of 18C (summer) and pH 6.7
- Volatile solids (VS) of 68.7kg/d
- VFA of alkalinity ratio of 2.3 : 1
- Alkalinity of 1700 mg/L
The problem is that
insufficient methane is produced and we're already dosing
the CAL with sodium bicarb (7kg/day) and sodium carb
(7kg/day). We're now considering feeding it with whey from
trade waste to increase the VS loading.
Is this a practical solution
as the additional sludge produced would need dewatering (a
belt press is used) whilst there is no methane collection
system? (all methane is flared) What is the preferred VS
loading?
