NOVELTY - Producing liquid methanol from methane gas involves: filling first reaction tank (T1) with leave gas/liquid interface and mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS); sealing tank (T1) against outside atmosphere; replacing air left in tank (T1) above gas/liquid interface with first gaseous mixture (G1) comprising methane and oxygen; establishing an operating temperature of 20 degrees C for tank (T1); circulating through MLSS in tank (T1) mixture (G1); producing signal that methanol production has peaked; and running liquid in clarifier through thermal separator for one hour.    USE - For producing liquid methanol from methane gas at bio-normal temperatures and pressures (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method produces and liquefies methanol from methane gas which enables the methanol to be used as an abundantly available liquid fuel, that is economically and easily transportable to supplement or replace crude oil based liquid fuels such as gasoline; operates at ambient temperature and pressure over current commercial processes for converting methane to methanol as the latter require high pressure, high temperature and at least one metal catalyst; provides significant economies over lignifying of natural gas (LNG), because it requires significantly lower capital and operating costs for each production facility, a far cheaper, and safer, transportation and handling infrastructure; requires minor adaptations to the existing distribution networks; produces water in the process; performs oxidation of methane gas to methanol liquid is exothermic; has greater throughput at higher temperatures, thus produced heat improves the yield of a facility or keeps a facility operating at a useful level even in colder climates; and allows a multi-stage exploitation of bacteria which in the everyday environment are seen as lacking any exploitably useful function.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing liquid methanol from methane gas at bio-normal temperatures and pressures, involves: first, filling a first reaction tank less than full, so as to leave a gas/liquid interface within it, with a mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), where the MLSS comprises water (99.5 wt.%) and/or a bacterial mixed liquor suspended solids concentration (bacterial-MLSS) (0.5 wt.%) containing volatile fraction of a bacterial mass of Type I bacterium Methylomonas Methanica (90 wt.%); sealing the first reaction tank against the outside atmosphere; next, replacing the air left in the first reaction tank above the gas/liquid interface with a first gaseous mixture comprising by volume methane and oxygen in a 1:4 ratio; establishing an operating temperature of 20 degrees C for the first reaction tank; next, continuously circulating through the MLSS in the first reaction tank the first gaseous mixture comprising by volume methane and oxygen in a 1:4 ratio, the first gaseous mixture coming from a combination of a methane gas source, an atmosphere intake, and a recirculation pipeline from above the gas/liquid interface of the first reaction tank, with the recirculation pipeline incorporating a scrubber to remove excess carbon dioxide (CO2) and a dehumidifier to remove excess water vapor, before connecting with the combination of the methane gas source and atmosphere intake, the combination being monitored and controlled by a methane gas concentration monitor, until a signal that the methanol production has peaked is produced; producing a signal that the methanol production has peaked by monitoring the MLSS with an oxidation reduction potential monitor (ORP) and obtaining a reading from the ORP of minus 0.5 to positive 1.5 millivolts; upon receiving a signal that the methanol production has peaked, stopping the circulation of the first gaseous mixture and transferring the MLSS from the first reaction tank into a clarifier, again leaving a gas/liquid surface in the clarifier; next, establishing an operating temperature for the clarifier of 20 degrees C; letting the solids in the MLSS settle in the clarifier for two hours; then, running the liquid in the clarifier through a thermal separator for one hour, the thermal separator operating at or just above the boiling point of methanol, returning the liquid from the separator back to the clarifier and piping the distillate to a condenser, and running the distillate through the condenser to liquify the methanol; combining, in a second reaction tank, the solids and other contents from the clarifier, and the liquid from the thermal separator to which inorganic metallic salts taken from the set of ferric or cupric metallic salts have been added, and filling the second reaction tank less than full, so as to leave a gas/liquid interface within it; sealing the second reaction tank against the outside atmosphere; next, replacing the air left in the second reaction tank above the gas/liquid interface with a second gaseous mixture comprising as close as is practicable a 100% methane gas; establishing an operating temperature for the second reaction tank of 20 degrees C; next, continuously circulating through the MLSS in the second reaction tank the second gaseous mixture comprising as close as is practicable a 100% methane gas, the second gaseous mixture coming from a combination of a methane gas source and a recirculation pipeline from above the gas/liquid interface of the second reaction tank, with the recirculation pipeline incorporating a scrubber to remove excess CO2 and a dehumidifier to remove excess water vapor, before connecting with the methane gas source, the combination being monitored and controlled by a methane gas concentration monitor, until a signal that the bacterial enyzmatic reset is peaking is produced; producing a signal that the bacterial enyzmatic reset is peaking by monitoring the MLSS with an oxidation reduction potential monitor (ORP) and obtaining a reading from the ORP of 2-6 millivolts; upon receiving a signal that the bacterial enyzmatic reset is peaking, stopping the circulation of the second gaseous mixture and letting the solids in the MLSS settle for two hours; and, restarting the cycle, establishing from the solids and liquids in the second reaction tank, to which water, solids, and bacterial mass are added as necessary.
