Biogas and biomethane, 2 books by Bernard Lagrange




by Christophe » 30/11/07, 10:23

For those interested in the biogas technique, here 2 reference books explaining the different techniques:

Bernard Lagrange (April 20, 1955) is an independent environmental researcher. He was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye of Georges Lagrange, an Esperantist. Called up for military service in 1975, he was rebellious, and, being clandestine, he worked for the APRE (Press Agency for Ecological Rehabilitation) and the review "Pollution Non", both edited by Jean-Luc Burgunder in Montargis. It is in this context that Bernard will conduct a major investigation into the production of biomethane, that is to say methane produced by the anaerobic fermentation of organic materials (manure, slurry, etc.). This investigation will lead to the publication of a work published in 1979 by Edisud editions under the title "Biomethane" which remains a reference in this field. After having participated in the 80s and 90s in various ecological alternative projects in the Lot and in the Landes, he is currently engaged in a project around alternative energies in Loire-Atlantique.

Bibliography

* Biomethane, Edisud / alternative energies, collection "Soft Technologies", 1979. 2 volumes:

1. a credible alternative, ISBN 2-85744-040-5 1

This first volume on biomethane successively presents organic matter as a source of energy, integrated systems, the geopolitics of biomethane and bioconversions as appropriate technology.

2. principles. technical uses, ISBN 2-85744-041-3 2

This second volume on biomethane presents methanogenic fermentation, continuous digestion as a means of purification, batch digestion and the production of biomethane, gas and its applications, the use of digestion effluents.

If his date of birth is correct, he wrote his 2 books at 24 years old! Low hat!

Otherwise it is especially the TOME 2 which is interesting at the construction level (I have a copy).

Hello,

For those who are interested in these books, which remain a reference in the matter, they are available via EDEN, an ultra-dynamic BIOGAS association which advises and carries out biogas installations in France:

(M.Lagrange is also part of EDEN)

Hello

They are two of the most interesting books. I bought them in Rabat, Morocco in 1981.

It is true that the second volume can be more interesting than the first, because more oriented towards practice.

I take this opportunity to recall a post of 12/11 https://www.econologie.com/forums/biogaz-et- ... 23-20.html
in which I indicated addresses exposing constructions of very rudimentary digesters presented by Eden. I would love to know what you think about it.

there are three distinct phases in the anaerobic digestion process.
* hydrolytic and fermentative bacteria (hydrolysis and acidogenesis)
* acetogenic bacteria (acetogenesis)
* methanogenic bacteria (methanogenesis)
http://www.methanisation.info/bacteries.html

I have some questions :

In theory, we could push methanation to where?
For example for 1 ton of dry matter which would be entirely methanised.

Are there mobile anaerobic digestion units?

And last question to 100 bullets:
Could we differentiate the hydrolytic and fermentative phase with the acetogenesis / methanogenesis phase? Would the process be improved?

Hello,
my question is more simple and pragmatic:
can we make small installations for individual houses?

I thought about these biolatrines that I expose on my site:
http://www.nrjrealiste.fr/biogaz/biogaz2.html

it must depend, as for the dimensioning of a septic tank or all waters, of the number of people?

but since the production of the continuous stream is stored?

I thought of a backup gas stove at first ...

You have an example in the addresses that I indicated previously.

yes I knew this model, I tried to reproduce it last summer but I was wrong: I used a storage tank rather than a maceration tank: result all the gas left through the holes in the cover !

on this page a link to build a methanizer, out of bricks.

Are there bacteria with greater methanogenic power?
I ask myself this question by reading the article on methane produced by cows in comparison with kangaroos for example.

There must be a list, right?

For those who are not afraid of English, I also found a super complete book that can be consulted directly on the net!
If it's not beautiful! : Mrgreen:

http://www.fao.org/docrep/t0541e/T0541E00.htm

I haven't had time to read it yet (it seems quite long!), But a priori it's more oriented towards developing countries (so what interests me the most! :P )

If you have knowledge / questions / suggestions on biogas in developing countries, do not hesitate!
