XPRISE CARBON PARTICLE CAPTURE The heat loss from a smokestack can be forced into a large tank containing hot liquid microcrystalline petroleum wax. The heat will keep the wax at a molten state which facilitate the carbon to be absorbed when combined with the wax. Carbon when mixed with wax reacts like a dye. The wax-carbon amalgamation result in a black wax solution thereby making it impossible for the carbon to escape into the environment. Other toxic particles are also captured in the wax settling at the bottom of the wax holding tank forming into a sludge. A sludge release valve is located at the bottom of the tank. After the sludge is removed more wax is replaced in the vessel working something like a toilet. The sludge becomes a byproduct that can be used as an additive to asphalt for roads or used for cocooning nuclear waste materials for long-term safe burial. The entropy of the Earth has been increasing at a startling rate since the beginning of the industrial revolution caused mainly by the carbon that is released into the atmosphere. Government scientists have failed to stop and prevent carbon pollution from entering the environment. This problem can only worsen until a solution is found before this problem becomes irreversible. It has been discovered that formulated wax has been shown to be the only answer to this problem. William Nelson waxogen@gmail.com
Cheers from America, thanks for putting this content out. Been searching for info on utilizing biogas in an offgrid homestead we're getting ready to start next month.
Looking awesome, Nice seeing your biogas videos and how to make and use it. My ibc tank has been giving me the runaround. Take a look at my biogas videos. Keep them coming the videos never get old.
I know this is a few years late BUT have you thought about using dry ice against a kind of heat exchanger before the gas goes into the cylinder? Ideally, the gas would cool to near 195K (Dry ice temp) and then when the temperature rose back up to ~20C the pressure in the tank would be about 240PSI (if the initial pressure was 160PSI). It could be a cheap (ish) way to test cooling the gas for higher compression with the existing compressor.
Watched your 1st gen vid a few times, loved it, and now an update. I'm going to be putting together a similar system next year on an off-grid farm in Spain - you gave me the inspiration to compress the CH4 into a used propane tank. This will be used to top up a solar heated heat sink (multiple 1000 litre insulated IBCs full of water for an UFH system). Thanks for taking the time to inspire us, you're a legend.

Love the OK at everything, pro at nothing. That is my disposition. I have a Home BioGas II digester and am so close to off grid American. Storing Biogas is my new problem so thanks very much for your demonstration!
The idea for having an aquarium heater is great. Here is how you avoid cleaning it. Place it i a separate pvc pipe cylinder with antifreeze in it. Seal it off so it will not leak. place it in a uniseal at the lower part of the container. This will work and keep it effective for heating the effluent.
Love what you have done. Compressing biogas makes it really practical as well as fun :o). Just wondering what the gas fitting part numbers/names are so I can build my own setup?
Wow I love what you’re doing friend! How long does the 45kg tank last? Did I detect a gas leak when you shut off your air compressor? How long did it take for the large bag to fill up? Any thought on instant hot water with methane and space heaters? Keep the movement going brother. Sending love from Vancouver Island!
Awesome !! mate thanks for great video just found out about biogas 1hr ago on USA video I'm using 20lt bucket for toilet and buying gas . This is gunna change my world . Thanks again for the great work I just subscribed and am looking forward to watching all your vids
Bro hahahaha..."I'm just a dude in a shed with some plastic tubes"...thx,for the vid and the great side note reminder...I think its important to say,as the first step is always the scariest...so u encourage people...all the best,greetings from Germany...subbed :)
Center Enamel Bolted steel tanks have a large variety of system applications, mainly including fire protection water storage tank, potable water tank, anaerobic digester, biogas tank, dry bulk storage tank, leachate tank, municipal sewage tank.
Please make a more detailed video of how to diy the compression and storing process so that beginners can start right away ... And also to provide a guide on what items to buy and their specifications
Good job and I would like to know more about the compressor ... for a small project, what compressor do you recommend? Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Great video. Just stumbled on your station after brief google search for biogas compression. I have installed several 10m3 biogas plants in Indonesia, and am wanting to diversify the application to more than just stoves. The next step for me is everything you have done. Scrubbing, cleaning, and compression. Seems I am getting stuck on the cleaning/scrubbing step, but your bleach/water tank and steel wool/clay pellets seem to do the trick eh? Where did you learn the bleach/water mixture idea from? Can you explain the flow there? Does the gas bubble up from the bottom? What is the bleach/water ratio? Do you change that out? How often? Awesome video, keep making them!
wow just found you videos man and exactly what i was looking for for info about biogas etc, love you home made set up do you have a video on how ya made it?
Hello my friend. I´ve been looking for some time about how to do this. The horrendous experience with the authoritarian regime in my country, #Venezuela, has made me to find alternative ways to provide fuel for my modest needs: cooking and fueling my vehicles, an SUV and a motorcycle. After reading some really useful documents I´ve found that moisture needs to be retrieved from the gas (fitting an inline silica gel filter, maybe from a car air conditioning) and a scrubber (an enclosed vessel filled up with steel wool) which will react with the sulfides and sulfates and will avoid the corrosion associated to sulphurs. I´ve not yet built it because of my return was stopped by the Quarantine but I´m going to use your videos as a guide. Thanks for sharing, dude! P.S. PLease people remember this gas explodes. Use your common sense.
I know that is an older video, but have you considered using a fridge/freezer compressor instead? Uses a fraction of the power to run, and reaches a higher pressure, like 400psi. through a pressure switch on it,, and you could automate it. Also runs much cooler, and the lubrication can be handled by a self built oil accumulator
He said in the video you can't go much higher with the pressure because in order to do that you would need liquid nitrogen to cool the gas into liquid. Not practical for at home unless you have a liquid nitrogen. If I understand correctly highly compressed hydrogen is dangerous if it's not in Liquid form
Really appreciated the bro work you have done... So could you please tell me about the air compressor details which was used and how we choose the relevant air compressor for the compression
That’s a good idea using the air compressor like that. I never would’ve thought of that cause you want to compress it but they have one of those things for getting out air conditioning things don’t know if you can use it, but it does the same thing.
Could you recommend useful resources for making a bio-digester , scrubbers for CO2, H2S, what to consider when choosing containers etc? Links to books and videos would be much appreciated!
Goof info, mate. I have tried a while ago with a 100L plastic tank and cow poo, it worked once, did fire in the stove, but then my plastic thingy broke. I had issues with gas leakage at the connections aswell. Now I am gathering more information and planning to build with a IBC 1000L tank, and hopefully someday I can compress into gas bottles
Hi . . . .really fantastic setup and easily understable content. . . .I've become a fan of your ideas. . . Rolled down the comments and couldn't find one one bit... Is there a net calculation of energy generated vs available for use. . . .sorry I cud'nt put my head around it. . . .just an easy to refer calculation right from amount of biofeed into the digester to compressor to electricity generator and the energy required to transfer/ transform at each stage... and wastage stages so they can be contained. . . .cheers viv
Hello mate! I am deeply happy to find your channel and learn all these things from you about Biogas! It's amazing when you realize that energy is a free good.. I am a real keen of renewable energy sources and I was wondering lately how to have free heating for my house during Winter time. So when I found your channel was like an oasis! Haha. I really I appreciate you So my long project short is to produce Biogas during automn and summer and store it in tanks so that I can burn it later. A few questions though In this 45kg tank the maximum storage capacity of Biogas is 1000lt (in 1 atmospheric pressure)??? Can't we store inside more?? Or is it impossible with this specific compressor? My question is if we can fill the tank to its commercial capacity as when we buy it full from the store so that can be more of handy
Hi Nick, to get practical and commercial amounts in a gas bottle, you will need a dedicated compressor ( have a look at Nuvair CNG) and CNG tanks as they handle higher pressures. Also have a look at Liquid Compressed Natural Gas. Very interesting.
Heya I've just rigged up my biogas system and looking to make the leap into compressing gas. Im only concerned about the corrosion thing you mentioned in over videos. I have log tanks that still have a bit of gas in em so as long as I let all that out am I good to start filling or is some cleaning out needed?
Very cool! I use ~750L of natural gas per day. How much time did it take for your system to generate the 1k L of biogas? What do you do with the biomaterial after it has finished producing biogas? How long does it take before the old used biomatter needs to be removed from the system? How do you get it out of the tanks & what do you do with it? Fascinating topic! Thanks for sharing!
What is the net energy balance of the whole process incl compression? Is the compression work exceeded by the heat content of the biogas? Evil question, I know. Awesome contributions. Cheers
I was thinking about a similar set up to this, except i am curious if one could simply use the tank of the compressor that already has a pressure relief valve installed. Also instead of taking gas from the digester into a bag/innertube etc, just hook the compressor on the digester. Cut out a couple of steps and a couple pieces of equipment.
Hey mate (sorry I don’t know your name), I love your videos and am currently in the process of building a mini biogas system, using a 20L bucket. This is just to prove to my wife that the system works and it’s worth me building multiple large ones 🤣🤣 (convincing the wife is a process). Do you feel it’s worth compressing the biogas into the cylinders?. I mean, have you had reasonable success doing so?. I was originally excited about compressing biogas, as I’m a plumber and understand how to put these sorts of things together, with little effort. However when i started reading up on methane and found you couldn’t compress it to liquid form without lowering the Temperature to -150 degrees C, it was a bit of a downer. Then i saw your video and thought “I wonder how much he’s actually getting in there?”. So are you compressing that entire air mattress into a 9kg bottle? How long does this take and how much time are you getting out of the compressed gas? You’re just connecting the air intake for the compressor, to the methane filled air mattress, yeah?. I am currently sitting on the thought that I will probably just collect truck tyre tubes and stack them one on top of the other, in some sort of cylinder enclosure. I thought i might use a large container on top of the tubes, which I can fill with water using a valve, to compress the tyre tubes and force out the gas. I can always muck around with the spring in the 2.75kpa LPG regular if needed and bore out the injectors also, using a purpose made hand held boring drill. You get these at gas wholesaler places like BOC, or you can order them online (incase you haven’t heard of these already mate). Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts mate. Love your channel, love what you are doing and am super excited about the advancement to the generator. I shared this video with a couple of mates and dream about the day that I can run the AC at home, on a biogas fuel generator (we need AC here in SE QLD mate). Cheers Chris
My question 1.what about previous lpg gas in cylinder 2 how much pressure required for filling & suggest compressor 3 how mush gas is stored in that cylinder Very informative video
I think I heard him mention that because he used what was in it, that he knew there was no oxygen inside. I guess as long as the tank valve was closed when the previous gas content stopped having usable pressure there was no chance for oxygen to enter. I do wonder how biogas and residual propane get along though? Is this a non issue? I use a butane long reach lighter for igniting my propane cookstove. Unlit propane often somehow " blows out" the lighter flame. Not sure what is really happening when these two flammable gasses meet.
Can you do a manual and circulate it for us to read? Appreciate the compressing demon. When the the tank is full, does the compressor automatically shut-down or do we have to monitor the pressure guage manually and shut it down when assume it is full? How do you measure the content of your biogas tank direct from the digestor? What is the ratio of bleach mixed with water to filter the biogas from sulphur or other contaminants?
I have recently started watching your videos and I am impressed! you have such a nice setup. I have 2 questions regarding your system. I hope you answer. 1) How do you stop the gas leakage from the overflow pipes as I don't see any valve around the overflow pipe. 2) How many days would it take to refill this gas bag after it has been empty?
Hey mate, over flow pipe goes down into the liquid on the inside, stops the gas. As far as filling the bag, depends on temperature, how much feed, what you feed, and how often you feed, optimal conditions I can do the bag in 2 days
Just a heads up. I definitely would be a little nervous with the old compressor around biogas. Maybe put a flash arrester between it and the gas bottle....
Sorry for the delay, biogas is a relatively safe gas to work with compared to LPG/Propane and other natural gases, I may do a video where I purposely try and explode a small gas bag, a lot of gas appliances have safety gas shut offs, currently working on a fridge vid and it shuts off if the gas dies down or flame goes out, the wife still didn’t like the digesters near the house hence the ‘moving the digester vid’ but there is bugger all gas within the digester itself, I’ve never used check valves only the water lock/bubbler/scrubber from the tank itself, but of course there is always a chance of risk with combustibles.
I really, really enjoy your videos. I have been thinking about this approach for some time. I,m thinking of using Bio gas is a heater back up. Do you have any idea to how long of burn time you have with a two burner stove top?
You could, wouldn’t store much, but possible, you would need a valve at the output end to keep the gas in, then possibly have a hose and regulator then use it straight from the compressor.
Great video sir, i love how you assembled your desulfurizer been subcribed already and just wondering whats the rule of the bleach.thanx lookiing forward for your reply and more videos🇵🇭
Brave man. Testing the gas without a flashback arrester. 😲😲 Mate Pls look up flashback arrester before you get Hurt. All the best take care and thanks for the videos.
Hey i see the videos, and i have a lot of questions but most inportent question, can i fill the bottle with the compressor direct from a biodigester when i have one of them ?
Would it be feasible to add a marine toilet with a macerator (so flush toilet paper as well) to your biodigester and if so how would you do this, as in how would you recommend to plumb it in? Also would it help to add a sinkerator to the feed trap and do you get much odour from this input hole? I would love to chat in person more as well as I may be down Orange way shortly, would you be okay for a visit?
Hi there, thanks for all of the BD and BG info. I´m looking for the video where you test the 45kg tank but i don´t found it. ¿it exist? else ¿how long it last this 45kg tank?
The electrical consumption surely exceeded the energy in btu from the gas available. Best to just use the gas at low pressure in large bags or else it essentially makes a worthless process. The only way I am aware for this to make any sense is that it was a compressor fueled by the bio gas itself to compress the bio gas. Thats the reason wellhead gas is transported from the wellhead to the refinery by compressors that are run by the very gas they are transporting. Love the experimenting though! Always fun to watch!
You have my genuine thanks for taking the time and effort to educate us on bio-gas and compressing it to make a much more practical and useful application. Liked, subscribed and thumbs up! Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR!!!

Also instead of taking gas from the digester into a bag/innertube etc, just hook the compressor on the digester. Cut out a couple of steps and a couple pieces of equipment.
Hey mate (sorry I don’t know your name), I love your videos and am currently in the process of building a mini biogas system, using a 20L bucket. This is just to prove to my wife that the system works and it’s worth me building multiple large ones 🤣🤣 (convincing the wife is a process).
Do you feel it’s worth compressing the biogas into the cylinders?. I mean, have you had reasonable success doing so?. I was originally excited about compressing biogas, as I’m a plumber and understand how to put these sorts of things together, with little effort. However when i started reading up on methane and found you couldn’t compress it to liquid form without lowering the Temperature to -150 degrees C, it was a bit of a downer. Then i saw your video and thought “I wonder how much he’s actually getting in there?”. So are you compressing that entire air mattress into a 9kg bottle?
How long does this take and how much time are you getting out of the compressed gas?
You’re just connecting the air intake for the compressor, to the methane filled air mattress, yeah?.
I am currently sitting on the thought that I will probably just collect truck tyre tubes and stack them one on top of the other, in some sort of cylinder enclosure. I thought i might use a large container on top of the tubes, which I can fill with water using a valve, to compress the tyre tubes and force out the gas. I can always muck around with the spring in the 2.75kpa LPG regular if needed and bore out the injectors also, using a purpose made hand held boring drill. You get these at gas wholesaler places like BOC, or you can order them online (incase you haven’t heard of these already mate).
Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts mate. Love your channel, love what you are doing and am super excited about the advancement to the generator. I shared this video with a couple of mates and dream about the day that I can run the AC at home, on a biogas fuel generator (we need AC here in SE QLD mate).
Cheers
Chris
My question
1.what about previous lpg gas in cylinder
2 how much pressure required for filling & suggest compressor
3 how mush gas is stored in that cylinder
Very informative video
You are a good man
Bro, I'm from NSW.. Have you tried to store your browns gas in the same fashion as you do from your bio gas? If so was it beneficial?
Best video yet!
What happens to the steel wool after it's filtered out all the h2O? Or rather what do you do with it, once it's been fully used?
thank you for the video. Would you please show in detail how you empty the oxygen out of the tank. thank you
I think I heard him mention that because he used what was in it, that he knew there was no oxygen inside. I guess as long as the tank valve was closed when the previous gas content stopped having usable pressure there was no chance for oxygen to enter. I do wonder how biogas and residual propane get along though? Is this a non issue? I use a butane long reach lighter for igniting my propane cookstove. Unlit propane often somehow " blows out" the lighter flame.
Not sure what is really happening when these two flammable gasses meet.
Can you do a manual and circulate it for us to read?
Appreciate the compressing demon.
When the the tank is full, does the compressor automatically shut-down or do we have to monitor the pressure guage manually and shut it down when assume it is full?
How do you measure the content of your biogas tank direct from the digestor?
What is the ratio of bleach mixed with water to filter the biogas from sulphur or other contaminants?
I have recently started watching your videos and I am impressed! you have such a nice setup.
I have 2 questions regarding your system. I hope you answer.
1) How do you stop the gas leakage from the overflow pipes as I don't see any valve around the overflow pipe.
2) How many days would it take to refill this gas bag after it has been empty?
Hey mate, over flow pipe goes down into the liquid on the inside, stops the gas. As far as filling the bag, depends on temperature, how much feed, what you feed, and how often you feed, optimal conditions I can do the bag in 2 days
Okay Got it!
Thankyou for the reply :)
Just a heads up. I definitely would be a little nervous with the old compressor around biogas. Maybe put a flash arrester between it and the gas bottle....
Very interesting ! Thanks for sharing ! I will try the same. Have you assessed the possible risks ? Do you have any warning or advice about that ?
Sorry for the delay, biogas is a relatively safe gas to work with compared to LPG/Propane and other natural gases, I may do a video where I purposely try and explode a small gas bag, a lot of gas appliances have safety gas shut offs, currently working on a fridge vid and it shuts off if the gas dies down or flame goes out, the wife still didn’t like the digesters near the house hence the ‘moving the digester vid’ but there is bugger all gas within the digester itself, I’ve never used check valves only the water lock/bubbler/scrubber from the tank itself, but of course there is always a chance of risk with combustibles.
I really, really enjoy your videos. I have been thinking about this approach for some time. I,m thinking of using Bio gas is a heater back up. Do you have any idea to how long of burn time you have with a two burner stove top?
What size collecting bag/tank will you using? I’m sure a have vids on this
Thank you bro. How about, is it possible to replace lpg with LNG using the way you do
Could you please educate me more.
I am really interested in the production and compression processes.
Another question how much manure it need for first time or how often it needs more I saw a video to put in kitchen scraps thank
So cool! Perhaps a silly question, but could you use the tank on the compressor to store the gas?
You could, wouldn’t store much, but possible, you would need a valve at the output end to keep the gas in, then possibly have a hose and regulator then use it straight from the compressor.
with it under pressure in the tank, is it suitable for hot water heater and oven etc or do you have to modify appliances?
Can you explain in detail how to hookup compressor to the bottle: fittings, gauges, type of compressor, pressure to watch, etc...
inspiring, nice one dude.
That's brilliant, I would love to build a digester and make our own gas. Gas prices just keep increasing here and it's taking the mic.
Great video sir, i love how you assembled your desulfurizer been subcribed already and just wondering whats the rule of the bleach.thanx lookiing forward for your reply and more videos🇵🇭
Great video.
What is the max pressure in a 2.7kg, tank and 11kg respectively? Tnks
Brave man.
Testing the gas without a flashback arrester. 😲😲
Mate Pls look up flashback arrester before you get Hurt.
All the best take care and thanks for the videos.
Fantastic
Hey i see the videos, and i have a lot of questions but most inportent question, can i fill the bottle with the compressor direct from a biodigester when i have one of them ?
Would it be feasible to add a marine toilet with a macerator (so flush toilet paper as well) to your biodigester and if so how would you do this, as in how would you recommend to plumb it in? Also would it help to add a sinkerator to the feed trap and do you get much odour from this input hole? I would love to chat in person more as well as I may be down Orange way shortly, would you be okay for a visit?
Good day guys. Is it good to use stainless steel for constructing cylindrical containers for biogas?
You can also use a working fridge compressor
do you save the co2 to feed the plants in your garden or greenhouse?
Hi there, thanks for all of the BD and BG info.
I´m looking for the video where you test the 45kg tank but i don´t found it.
¿it exist? else ¿how long it last this 45kg tank?
The electrical consumption surely exceeded the energy in btu from the gas available. Best to just use the gas at low pressure in large bags or else it essentially makes a worthless process. The only way I am aware for this to make any sense is that it was a compressor fueled by the bio gas itself to compress the bio gas. Thats the reason wellhead gas is transported from the wellhead to the refinery by compressors that are run by the very gas they are transporting. Love the experimenting though! Always fun to watch!
