Intrepid's Biogas Plant Processes First 500,000 Gallons
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Feb 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Intrepid Technology
and Resources, Inc. (ITR) (OTCBB: IESV), a renewable energy company Intrepid
Technology and Resources, Inc., a renewable energy company, announces that its
biogas facility at the Whitesides dairy has processed over 500,000 gallons of
manure in its initial month of operation.
The manure has been rendered into irrigation water and fed back into the dairy's
lagoons for use during the upcoming irrigation season.
The process has proven reliable with improvements already made to the feed and
control system. The hydrogen sulfide removal system, which was designed to meet
pipeline gas specifications for the contaminant, has performed flawlessly.
Concentrations of hydrogen sulfide are below the 4 parts per million
requirements for use as pipeline gas. The company is currently procuring
equipment to remove the last two contaminants required to achieve all pipeline
specifications, namely water and carbon dioxide.
Gas from the biogas plant is now heating the dairy's hot water system and is
producing an average excess of 43,000 cubic feet of gas a day from the two-tank
system.
ITR's president, Dr. Dennis Keiser, commented "We continue to develop a high
level of confidence in our proprietary digester technology and see a clear path
to make the biogas from the digester into pipeline quality gas for sale to a
local gas utility."
About Intrepid Technology: We are a national leader in Methane to Market
technology and production and an application innovator of Biogas products and
services designed to assist in worldwide energy independence and reduce
pollution from renewable agriculture feedstock and industrial and agriculture
waste materials.
