Sewage - algae - fuel?
vjp...@at.biostrategist.dot.dot.com
turning it into a swamp? If so, why not use the algae biofuel on sewage?
Then I got another question. A year ago I poked around on the fact
that nitrogen bonds have the most energy for fuel (Rockets, NG/TNT)
and then we saw Shell selling Nitrogen Enriched fuel. Isn't there some
way to take advantage of this in sewage. Of course on the first try,
the nitrogen will be toxic and explosive, but that's why engineering
involves iteration.

No sewage management doesnt always "create excess algae"
No it doesnt then go on to choke lake life as standard feature of sewage
management
"If so, why not use the algae biofuel on sewage?"
How would that work ? Algay are 80-90% water the residual being mainly
carbohydrate. Think about the amount eneormous amounts of biomass required
to produce a consistant and abundant energy resource then calculate biomass
generation rate in a "choked lake"...you dont have a product quite frankly

Sewage is already used as an energy source. Via biological transformations
sewage is converted into methane or combustable solids an din some cases
animal feed ..CRAP ( concentrated recycled animal protein
......................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm).. a la carte energy
