USDA is now accepting applications from states for biofuels infrastructure partnership
On June 12, 2015, the USDA began accepting applications for grants under the Biofuels Infrastructure Partnership (BIP). Through the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), BIP will provide up to $100 million in grants to support infrastructure development to make renewable fuel options, including E15 and E85, an option for more American consumers. CCC funds will pay a portion of the costs associated ...

Refined augmented Lagrange Hopfield network–based Lagrange relaxation for hydrothermal scheduling
This paper proposes a refined augmented Lagrange Hopfield network–based Lagrange relaxation (ALHN–LR) for solving short term hydrothermal scheduling (HTS) problem with pumped–storage hydro units. ALHN–LR consists of improved Lagrange relaxation (ILR) and augmented Lagrange Hopfield network (ALHN). For solving the HTS problem, the proposed method applies enhanced ILR for finding thermal unit ...

Preventing Gas Evaporation with Fluoropolymers
Do you find that you’re going through your gas quicker than you thought? It might not be something in your head. You may have an issue with gas evaporation. While gas evaporation is usually more of a problem in the hot summer months, it still does occur in the colder months as well, which means you will need to safeguard against it at all costs. If you want to save money at the pump now ...

Performance and emissions of a dual fuel operated diesel engine
Vegetable oil and its esters (biodiesel) are the renewable alternative fuels that can be used as a substitute for diesel in the diesel engines. The vegetable oil fuelled diesel engine results in lower efficiency and higher smoke emission. Hence in this work, an attempt has been made to use inedible and under utilised mahua oil (MO) as a substitute for diesel by fumigating liquefied petroleum gas ...

Biodiesel dispersion replaces diesel fuel
Is that possible to find substitution to traditional diesel fuel? Until recently these question were asked by ecologists and diesel cars owners who are taking hard time in periodic rises in price of fuel. With the event of the biodiesel development the situation cleared up. It became clear to all that cheap, qualitative and environmentally friendly biodiesel was born and started winning surely ...

Making biodiesel blends fuel is simple
Biodiesel is made in the process of transesterification of vegetable oil by methanol, although sometimes ethanol or isopropyl alcohol are used instead. The ration is approximately 200 kg of methanol per 1 ton of oil (plus potassium or sodium hydroxide). Process temperature is approximately 60°С, no pressure increase is required. After the transesterification reaction, the content of ...

Long-life Oil Pumps – Ditlev Reefer
After 25 years, it was finally time to replace the old ROTAN pumps. They say that on average, a pump’s life is about 10 – 15 years if you overhaul and maintain the pump properly, but in the case of the pumps used back in 1990 when Chartworld Shipping Corporation, Greece, built the cargo ship Ditlev Reefer, the pump life was 25 years. DESMI has a long history of supplying ...

How RFS Biofuel Mandates Drive Imports
It should come as a surprise to congressional supporters of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), that their 2007 votes to expand the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to advance “homegrown energy” would lead to historic U.S. imports of biodiesel. Here’s a look at how exactly that’s happening: Though the conventional requirement can be met with various biofuels, ...

KBR - Joint Operational Fuel System (JOFS)
In 2009 DESMI was approached by KBR in the U.K, KBR being a prime contractor to the U.K Armed forces with a specification for the supply of ATEX marked pump units for pumping fuel in ‘Theatre’ as it is known. Theatre being the ‘battlefield’. We had supplied pumps previously direct to the end user (UK MoD) so the decision was taken that it was a worthwhile exercise to bid ...

Is the future of haulage really electric?
The days of vehicles consuming petrol and diesel are now numbered because of the huge amount of damage that they can do for the environment. Many more cars on the road are now electric because they are viewed as being better for the planet as well as being cheaper to run. However, when it comes to haulage, the switch to electric has been slower, as this is one area where expense and efficiency ...

DCL Catalyst Meets Stringent California Regulations
Enticed by a grant offered by the state of California’s Energy Commission, Tideland Oil Production Co. of Southern California found a way to make good use of on-site gas and lower its utility bill at the same time. Tidelands recently installed a Waukesh Engine VHP P9390 GSI and pump package fueled by gas previously flared into the atmosphere. The package replaced an electric motordriven unit, but ...
