Dear Munyaradzi Musariri,

Only the way during the processes, to safety to make Double layer of Enclosure must be provided in Externally of the Reactors and dispose through Turbo Extract pipeline with Biogas- Tower Chimney. Becoz which is discharge huge amount carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide ; In operating Processes should Only be through Instrumentation System .
