aerobic vs anaerobic

IBR's process uses 'aerobic digestion' vs 'anaerobic'. Why can't these two systems be integrated? Anaerobic technology produces a methane gas that would run the whole operation but the end product is not pathogen free and requires further processing. Also the waste water needs to be dealt with. IBR's process can use the energy produced and take the left-over matter along with other organic waste and create a saleable end product- fertiliser. Also there would be no waste. No energy cost. No pollutants. Valueable end product for sale. There's a merger needing to happen here... or am I completely out to lunch? Does anybody know if this has been considered? "Aerobic digestion is a bacterial process occurring in the presence of oxygen. Under aerobic conditions, bacteria rapidly consume organic matter and convert it into carbon dioxide. Once there is a lack of organic matter, bacteria die and are used as food by other bacteria. This stage of the process is known as endogenous respiration. Solids reduction occurs in this phase. Because the aerobic digestion occurs much faster than anaerobic digestion, the capital costs of aerobic digestion are lower. However, the operating costs are characteristically much greater for aerobic digestion because of energy costs for aeration needed to add oxygen to the process." "Anaerobic digestion is a bacterial process that is carried out in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion generates biogas with a high proportion of methane that may be used to both heat the tank and run engines or microturbines for other on-site processes. In large treatment plants sufficient energy can be generated in this way to produce more electricity than the machines require. The methane generation is a key advantage of the anerobic process. Its key disadvantage is the long time required for the process (up to 30 days) and the high capital cost."

Hey "PumpBoy"...if IBR integrates hiring capable management into it's boardroom maybe it would turn into a higher share price?. As of now, all we shareholders see is incompetent management and a stock that's being traded every three or four days. Stop boring us with your nonsense on how great this company's technology is. Get back to us when they turn a profit, then we' ...more

You seem to emerge from under your banket at the most opportune times. The fact that you reply so quickly proves that you keep a pretty close eye on this board; just waiting for your chance to pounce. The stock only trades every 3-4 days because you could drive a truck through the spread. Shareholders are unsure of the COIN deal and have no confirmation of the payment. In regards to my ...more

I apologize, I should be more respectful to elders. At the same time, I'm surprised someone your age is so naive? You believe that IBR has a future? I think you meant to say that maybe the technology has a future in someone else's hands? There is no discussion to be had here because this management team has proven to me for over ten years they can't get it done. Do you honestly ...more

For clarification The energy recovery did not involve digester gas but adding ancilliaries to their existing equipment. These guys......shaking my head Ice
