Methanol Production

[mikeo80]

I had a lot of twigs and small branches come down during some of the recent windstorms. I went out and worked for about an hour cleaning this crap up As I was doing this, I started to think. (Please get the women and children to the lifeboats! )

My thoughts wandered into methanol. Small twigs and branches strike me as excellent fodder for a still. I know that they would have to chopped up a lot finer than I did.

I guess that I cleaned up 10-15 Kg of trash in the hour I worked. A small still in T2K needs 30 Kg of crap a day to keep running. (V2.2, Pg 59)

So, 2 - 3 hours of gathering, an hour of prep, and the still is happy. For today. You have to do this again tomorrow.

Any thoughts or comments on my math are welcome.
