WASTE & BIOFUEL MARRIAGE FOR THE FUTURE

Waste the Answer to Biofuel’s Ethical Dilemma Say Researchers 14 April 2011 Second generation biofuels that use waste as a feedstocks could be the answer to ‘unethical practices’ that are encouraged by current policies on biofuels, according a report by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. The UK based Nuffield Council on Bioethics examines ethical issues [...]

BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM MANURE WASTE

Small Scale Anaerobic Digestion to Boost Biogas Markets Small scale, distributed anaerobic digestion plants could offer an environmentally and economically stable solution for locally produced biogas. In Germany government incentives have led to the development of over 6000 anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities, generating twice as much power as all of the country’s waste to energy [...]

PIG MANURE TO FUEL CRUDE OIL

Chemists Get Scoop On Crude ‘Oil’ From Pig Manure Science (June 17, 2008) — After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things. Most obviously, “This stuff smells worse than manure,” says NIST chemist Tom Bruno. [...]

CHICKEN MANURE TO ENERGY EQUIPMENT

VIV Europe 2010: Innovative gasification system to be introduced Chicken manure to energy Environmentally friendly, climate neutral and reliable: For the first time ever on display world wide at VIV Europe will be a gasification system which transforms biomass for example from poultry manure into energy. The clou of the Big Dutchman innovation is that, except for [...]

FOOD INDUSTRY WASTE CONVERTS TO BIO GAS FUEL

Obtaining Bio-Gas From Food Industry Waste Science (Mar. 31, 2009) — The AZTI-Tecnalia technological centre, experts in food research, have put a biogas plant into operation in order to investigate novel systems of sustainable energy production based on the use of waste and sub-products from the food industry. This new plant exploits the enormous potential [...]

SEWERAGE PLANTS WITH HIGH ENERGY SAVINGS

Energy-Efficient Sewage Plants Science (Aug. 22, 2009) — High-rate digestion with microfiltration is state-of-the-art in large sewage plants. It effectively removes accumulated sludge and produces biogas to generate energy. A study now reveals that even small plants can benefit from this process. Sewage plants remove organic matter from wastewater. If the accumulating sludge decays, biogas [...]

SEWERAGE SLUDGE TO BIOFUEL,CLOSE TO REALITY

Biodiesel from Sewage Sludge Within Pennies a Gallon of Being Competitive Science (May 20, 2010) — Existing technology can produce biodiesel fuel from municipal sewage sludge that is within a few cents a gallon of being competitive with conventional diesel refined from petroleum, according to an article in ACS’ Energy & Fuels. Sludge is the [...]

MOBILE BIO MASS UNIT TO PRODUCE BIO FUEL FROM ALL RUBBISH

New Biofuels Processing Method for Mobile Facilities Science (July 11, 2010) — Chemical engineers at Purdue University have developed a new method to process agricultural waste and other biomass into biofuels, and they are proposing the creation of mobile processing plants that would rove the Midwest to produce the fuels. “What’s important is that you [...]

BACTERIA BREAKS DOWN TRASH FOR POWER GENERATION

Turning Trash Into Power Biological Engineers Generate Natural Gas with Bacteria October 1, 2006 — A new kind of waste digester uses two different strains of bacteria in different tanks. This would normally take place in the same environment, but microbiologists have now separated it into two stages that increases natural-gas production. The technology increases [...]
