Table 3.

Methanogenic consumption of methanol (reactions 1 and 2), TMA (reactions 3), and hydrogen (reaction 4) and molar conversion ratios.

Reaction Molar conversion ratio (MCR)
(1) CH3OH+H2 → CH4 + H2O 1.0
(2) 4 CH3OH → 3CH4 + CO2 + 2H2O 1.33
(3) 4(CH3) 3N + 6H2O →9 CH4 + 3 CO2 + 4NH4 + 0.45
(4) 4 H2 + CO2 → CH4 + 2H2O 4.0
