Pyrolysis is referred to as a thermal decomposition related to biomass which takes place in an environment where oxygen is absent. This chemical reaction can be a precursor both for gasification and combustion processes that naturally occurs in just a matter of moments. Products produced through biomass pyrolysis range between bio-oil, to biochar, onto gases which include fractional co2, deadly ...
Pyrolysis is known as a thermal decomposition associated with biomass which occurs in an environment where oxygen is absent. This chemical reaction is really a precursor for both gasification and combustion processes that naturally occurs in just a couple of seconds. Products produced through pyrolysis with biomass pyrolysis plant vary from bio-oil, to biochar, onto gases that come with co2, ...
While small refineries on the receiving end of waivers may not be responsible for biofuel blending themselves, ethanol is still being added to the products these refiners produce — just further down the supply chain. At the same time, a there has been a decline in U.S. exports of ethanol. ...
High-Purity Raw Materials from the By-Products of Biodiesel Production Producing diesel from plant-based raw materials creates unwanted by-products. ...
The middle layer is sometimes used in the cosmetics industry. Algae Biodiesel Production Algae can produce up to 300 times more oil per acre than conventional crops such as grapeseed, palms, soybeans or jetropha. ...
It is a very interesting story of pairing distinct microbes to take advantage of their unique metabolisms in creating a gas-to-liquids process. In the United Sates, biodiesel — a primary alternative to petroleum-diesel — is the second-most abundant biologically derived transportation fuel. This bio-based diesel is currently produced from vegetable or ...
On June 17, 2015, the Australian government made a bipartisan agreement to tax Australian-produced biodiesel and ethanol. Cleaner fuel grants for renewable and biobased diesel fuels will end by July 1, 2015, as will the Ethanol production grant. An excise rate on biodiesel will be phased in starting in 2015-2016 at zero percent, and will increase ...
On March 30, 2015, the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) submitted a petition to EPA seeking reconsideration and a request for stay of EPA's approval of the Argentinian Camara Argentina de Biocombustibles (CARBIO) Alternative Biomass Tracking Program. According to the NBB press release, EPA failed to provide an opportunity for public comment on the EPA decision and a lack of ...
In this study, we used ethanol as the solvent, and a bio fuel enhancer as additive to explore the possible use of higher percentages of biodiesel in an unmodified diesel engine. Biodiesel was produced from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) by pyrolysis process. A mixture containing 80% (by volume) of Number 2 diesel fuel and 20% (by volume) of ...
The aim of this article is to highlight and discuss the impacts of National Programme for Production and Use of Biodiesel - PNPB. This programme has some unique characteristics such as the incentive to social inclusion and local development by family farmers inclusion as oilseeds suppliers of biodiesel production, in this sense this study focus on ...
This paper brings the novelty of the exergy analysis technique using Ex–N–A diagram to a packed reactive distillation (RD) column for biodiesel production. In this study, biodiesel is produced through the esterification of fatty acid with methanol. ...
This paper presents a study on the inclusion of biodiesel and PV modules in a system already in operation on a small farm in southern Brazil. The insertion of biodiesel in different blends with diesel reveals that the use of B100 results in a reduction of about 3% in emissions and a reduction of less than 10% in the final cost of energy. A direct comparison ...
In this work, the non–edible oil, neem (Azadirachta indica) was used to produce biodiesel by a two step transesterification process. The fuel properties of the biodiesel thus produced were determined by standard methods. ...
The engine performance was analysed with different blends of biodiesel and was compared with neat diesel. It was concluded that the lower blends of biodiesel are closer to diesel as far as thermal efficiency is concerned. ...
The biodiesel blend is more environmentally friendly, than standard types of fuel which has a crude oil base. ...
The ever increasing diesel consumption, rapid depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concern has prompted an intensive use of biodiesel produced from various sources. In this study, biodiesel (ethyl ester of fish oil) was prepared from fish oil and different blends of biodiesel–diesel (B20, B40, B60, B80 and B100) were ...
A biodiesel batch reactor was fabricated using locally sourced materials. ...
A customised framework for eco–efficiency in biodiesel processing sector was considered. The major concepts, definitions, framework assessment, cradle to grave inventory of eco–efficiency are also considered. The paper also gives a brief introduction to the use of indicators, especially environmental performance indicators and eco–efficiency indicators and ...
While the oil and water adage is well known to biodiesel producers — it means feedstock is contaminated with water — it also offers an opportunity. Biodiesel plant personnel are always looking for new tools and equipment that help a facility operate more ...
The European Union is the largest producer of biodiesel in the world and biodiesel is also the most important biofuel used in the EU. ...
