Society for Biological Engineering (SBE)

SBE is a global technological community that promotes the integration of engineering with biology and realize its benefits through bioprocessing, biomedical, and biomolecular applications. SBE provides opportunities for interaction of engineers and scientists, develops products and services bring value to the broad biological engineering community, and infuses awareness of biological engineering among all functions and activities of AIChE.

Reforming of Residual Tars and Oils From Biomass Gasification

Oct 16, 2011
Lyman Frost
One of the barriers to wider use of many kinds of biomass is the fact that they generate refractory tars and oils when gasified. These compounds cause difficulty when they are passed to downstream components in the system by causing plugging and drop in performance. The compounds can be condensed...

Variability of Switchgrass, a Dedicated Bioenergy Crop

Oct 16, 2011
Paul B. Filson
The utilization of switchgrass as a dedicated energy crop is well documented in the scientific community. However, there has not been any large-scale production of switchgrass as a feedstock for the production of biofuels. In this work, three different varieties of switchgrass were grown on 600...

Low Temperature Gasification of Impregnated Biomass Feedstock

Oct 16, 2011
Foster Agblevor
Hybrid poplar biomass feedstocks were impregnated with catalysts and gasified at three different temperatures in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. The impregnated biomass were gasified in a nitrogen atmosphere at 400 o C, 600 o C, and 800 o C. The gas yield increased with increasing temperature as...

Automation and Control of Drug-On-Demand Technology

Oct 16, 2011
Laura Hirshfield
After the implementation of initiatives such as PAT and QbD, there has been a drive towards efficient manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry. The concept of "mini-manufacturing" of drugs, as opposed to mass production of drugs, has shown promise in this area. We describe one such "mini-...

Using QbD to Asses the Factors That Affect Stability and Packaging

Oct 16, 2011
Stephanie Krogmeier
Packaging is often the last step in drug product (DP) development; however packaging is extremely important in determining the marketability of a product. The ability to predict whether a product can be stored at room temperature early in development can affect how the drug is developed. In order...

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...

Mechanistic Modeling of Fast Pyrolysis of Cellulose to Predict Bio-Oil Composition

Oct 16, 2011
Vinu Ravikrishnan
Fast pyrolysis, a potential strategy for the production of transportation fuels from biomass, involves a complex network of competing reactions, which result in the formation of bio-oil, non-condensable gaseous species, and solid char. Bio-oil is a mixture of anhydro sugars, furan derivatives, and...
