Back home with mom and dad. Am I taking care of them or are they taking care of me? I'm getting the bills paid, I'm getting the house cleaned, the lawn maintained, and mom and dad physically taken care of. They have cash in their pockets and full tanks of gas.
Still, they buy dinner for me and awaken me to go to work in the morning. The dinner is a generous gift which I have difficulty saying no to. The latter is a necessity that helps me keep my job. I'd be healthier not eating a bunch late in the evening and I'd rather be vegan instead of eating the fried fish and chicken mom and dad buy for all three of us. I wish I felt energetic in the mornings as opposed to the evenings, then I wouldn't need my parents or spouse to wake me up.
Back to alternative energy:
New/One Trip 20' Shipping Containers can carry approximately 24 tons
New/One Trip 20' Shipping Containers can cost $2,480 to $2850
What works in US government sponsored testing of biosolids to energy tests:
Conventionally dry biosolids, nothing else works.
Turn the conventionally dried biosolids into biochar.
Gasify the biochar, then feed the burnable gas back into the drying system.
Benefits:
It reduces the cost of drying biosolids. It's less polluting of air, water, and land. This gas feed back reduces the volume and transportation costs of dried, Grade B biosolids that need to be shipped away. (As noted in earlier posts, Grade A biosolids are used as fertilizer. Allegedly, the Grade A dried biosolids are clean enough to use in farming that doesn't go directly into human consumption.)
Grade B biosolids disappear mysteriously. The City of Houston mentions that they're used on public golf courses but that doesn't really explain what happens to the rest.
There's an electricity generation plant Southeast of Houston next to Smither's Lake, next to Thompsons Texas. The unit was owned by Houston Lighting and Power and now it's owned by NRG Energy. They bring in miles long trains filled with Wyoming coal to fire the plant. Smithers Lake is the cooling pond for the electricity plant.
How about using some of that Grade B biochar? Then again, they might be using the Grade B biosolids, whether they're biocharred or just plain dried, already. The websites' explanations regarding the exact chemical make up of biosolids and their destination aren't made clear at all.
G'night, ya'll.
