Earth Flatulence Power (EFP) [RE-wrenches]

[Brian Teitelbaum]

Jeff - he should first have the gas tested to determine the BTU content. I
knew a guy here in N. Cal. back in the '80s who had a gas seep on his
property. He had it tested, and it only had about 40% of the BTU content of
standard natural gas. The genny companies that we contacted (Onan and
Kohler) did not recommend using the gas in an engine. He ended up just
putting an inverted 55 gallon drum over the seep, and running a pipe at low
pressure to his house for cooking, heating, and to run his Servel fridge. He
said that it worked great, but I was skeptical about the Servel. Never saw
him again, though.

Talk with your ONAN rep. about a Natural gas generator application. They
should be able to direct your client to someone who can help with capping
options. 
I had a similar request and they had it already capped but wanted to know if
there was a natural gas generator available to make power with.

Thanks Peter, but this is a remote o-t-g application and there is no utility
anywhere nearby and the nearest nat. gas line is over 20 mi. away. 
This is a small scale need and I just don't know how to assess it and put it
to use beyond roasting marshmellows! I don't want to put up PV modules until
I've exhausted this on site energy potential.
