The a heat-storage-and-transfer unit takes heat from the exothermic reaction in the first reaction tank and provides it to any of the clarifier, thermal separator, and second reaction tank, for co-generative efficiency. The gas/liquid interaction between the re-circulating gas and the MLSS is provided by any of a set of alternatives, where the set includes bubbling the gas in from the bottom, fixing the biomass to a media such as at least one rotating discs of fixed material and rotating the disc such that any portion of its surfaces alternates between gas and liquid, and using surface aeration and mixing devices operating at the gas/liquid interface. The gas/liquid interaction between the re-circulating gas and the MLSS is provided by opposing continuous flows of liquid and gas maintained by gravitation, pumping unit and recirculation channeling unit.

The method further involves at least one gas-mixture monitor for each operating vessel to measure the gaseous mixture above the gas/liquid interface to ensure that the methane-to-oxygen concentration remains either below the lower flammability limit (LFL) or above the flammability limit (UFL). The production of a signal that the methanol production has peaked upon the first receipt of any of a set of signals of it, further includes in the set a signal based on observing the rate of production of carbon dioxide.
