Treat sulphur as H2S by running the digester at about 0.5% oxygen. If you are gas mixing, bleed air in through the gas mixer, otherwise a small air pump (fish pond type possibly) to feed the gas space above the digester. You will need to monitor oxygen % as well as H2S and methane levels, but you will need to do this anyway to monitor the digestion.

So instead of removing sulphar from the water I should remove it from the gas ?
