Irish Scientists Aim to Knock Wind Out of Greenhouse Effect
"...their next goal will be to reduce levels of methane emission. Which should be quite a simple thing to do, actually. Apart from cutting out the onion soup and baked beans, they simply need to ensure that the cattle and sheep avoid curry, three-alarm (or stronger) chilli, and pints of Guinness. Well, it works for me."

How a Bio-oxidation Plant Works
Bio-oxidation treatment is a final step in cleaning excess process water or waste ammonia liquor that originates from coke oven gas produced during the coking process. In this process, phenol and thiocyanate are "eaten" (oxidized to carbon dioxide and water) by bacteria at a bio-oxidation plant. The treated water can then be sent to a sewage treatment plant where the remaining ammonia is "eaten" by yet another strain of bacteria and made safe to discharge into a river.
