Methane gas control system

Abstract

A methane gas control system, including a blower having an inlet for generating an air stream and a discharge section for expelling the air stream from the blower, a fuel collector attached to the blower at the discharge section for collecting methane gas contained in the air stream, a heated dryer connected to the fuel collector for eliminating moisture from the methane gas, and an engine connected to the heated dryer that is at least partially fueled by the methane gas. In operation, the methane gas control system removes methane from a borehole by generating and collecting an air stream from the borehole using a blower, collecting methane contained in the air stream using a fuel collector, removing moisture from the methane using a heated dryer, and transporting the methane from the heated dryer to an engine that is at least partially fueled by the methane gas.
