A New Bio Oil Production Process Breakthrough
February 8, 2013 | 3 Comments
Researchers at Aarhus and Aalborg University in cooperation with the firm Steeper Energy Ltd. have developed a new and innovative process that can efficiently convert “all kinds” of biomass to bio-crude oil. Called HydroThermal Liquefaction (HTL), the process product is sufficiently similar to fossil crude oil that a simple thermal upgrade and existing refinery technology […]

A Deep Look Into Wood to Bio-Oil By Pyrolysis
December 18, 2012 | 7 Comments
North Carolina State University’s chemical and biomolecular engineer Dr. Phillip Westmoreland and doctoral student Vikram Seshadri looked at the molecular level when wood is rapidly heated to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, a decomposition process known as pyrolysis. Much of the energy that can be extracted from wood exists in the cell wall […]

Biodiesel May Be Produced In A Continuous Process
July 12, 2011 | 3 Comments
Today biodiesel is made by the batch, a naturally less efficient way for processes to run. A continuous process would be less expensive to run, easier to manage and need less storage and product movement both in front and at the finished side. Continuous biodiesel production would get less expensive, more competitive and become more […]
