Parametric study of biodiesel quality and yield using a bench-top processor
Biodiesel is a renewable liquid fuel alternative to petrodiesel. It is produced by the transesterification of vegetable oil and alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. A 1.5 L bench-top biodiesel processor was constructed to study the effect of feedstock and operating conditions on the conversion and the biodiesel quality. Biodiesel was produced from several oil feedstocks using methanol and ...

Biomass Pyrolysis Plant: What It Really Are Capable Of Doing To Suit Your Needs
A mobile biomass pyrolysis plant can operate independently of any electrical grid and might re-locate multiple times annually. The economics of biomass pyrolysis are favorable for many different reasons. The expense of raw materials is less, and the biomass haul distance is quite a bit shorter compared to a set-site biomass pyrolysis plant. The mobile plant may be operated on a number of biomass ...
