Industrial Screw Conveyors: Design and Use
Industrial screw conveyors are used by many industries such as water treatment plants, food and chemical processors, biofuel, agricultural, wood pulp, and more. They are used to efficiently convey materials, frequently to or from hoppers and bins. Thermal screw conveyors are also extremely useful in many industries. The ability to heat or chill the conveyed material can bring big improvement for ...

Thermal Screw Conveyors: Heated or Chilled
Industrial screw conveyors, also known as auger conveyors, are a widely-used method of bulk conveyance in many industries. These industries include food and chemical processing, water treatment plants, biofuel production, agriculture, and more. Besides conveyance, there are added benefits industrial screw conveyors can bring to its users. One of these benefits is the ability to heat or chill the ...

Study examines anaerobic digestion’s role in water, agriculture, and biofuels issues
According to a new analysis, working on both clean water and biofuels production in tandem may reap significant environmental and economic benefits. For example, using anaerobic digestion to treat manure could prevent nutrient-runoff pollution and create a renewable energy source, according to the study by EcoEngineers and Goss & Associates. Looking at Iowa farming, the analysts estimated ...

Policy brief on indirect land use change and Peatlands
Biofuel production on peatlands increases greenhouse gas emissions Wetlands International recognises a potential role for biofuels in terms of emission reductions compared to fossil fuels. However, under current practice, biofuels often have large negative impacts on (high carbon) natural ecosystems. In such cases, the expansion of biofuel crop production leads to higher rather than lower ...

University Of Michigan Researcher Publishes Controversial Study That Finds Gasoline Produces Fewer CO2 Emissions Than Biofuels
On August 25, 2016, researchers at the University of Michigan, led by research professor John M. DeCicco, Ph.D., published "Carbon balance effects of U.S. biofuel production and use," a study examining the impact of biofuel production on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The study, funded in part by the American Petroleum Institute, examined USDA crop-production data and determined that the ...

Biomass granulator develops value for far better life
The straws in the fields are no more arbitrarily burned, and also the building and construction waste is arranged in an orderly fashion, making our skies bluer, the air fresher, and also the land and water purer. Related post: biomass pellet mill for sale Where did the unburned straw and also the organized sorted building and construction waste formwork go? They have been transformed ...

Upping use of algae in feed may reduce global warming rate
A group of researchers with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (NASA) evaluated potential outcomes for the climate system stemming from the use of microalgae biomass as animal feed and alternative fuel along with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). "Its critical, if we think about arable land as a scare resource, that we take care of this resource," said lead researcher ...

Glycerol Detection Enzyme - Case Study
BACKGROUND When biodiesel is made - from any feedstock - approximately 10% of the product will be glycerol (also called glycerin). Glycerol has many uses, but it destroys engines because it's a sugar alcohol, and therefore must be removed from biodiesel before it can be used or sold as fuel. ASTM International has set a limit of 0.02% glycerol in biofuels (ASTM Standard D6751). ASTM's standard ...
