Rule of Thumb for Reactor Design and Process Condition for Biodiesel Production

Oct 16, 2011
Masato Kouzu
The rule of thumb for reactor design and process condition for biodiesel production is introduced. The important aspect includes type of feedstock oil, catalyst selection, methanol/oil ratio, quality of the produced biodiesel. When low quality plant oil is used as the feedstock, its pre-treatment...

Pellets From Pretreated Biomass

Oct 16, 2011
M. Toufiq Reza
Biomass supply is complicated by diversity of feedstocks, seasonal availability, and widely distributed feedstock. The costs of biomass supply and logistics hinder commercialization for advanced fuel and power production. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC, or wet torrefaction) is a pretreatment...
