Abstract:
A method and apparatus involve: determining a specification for a fuel volatility characteristic so that a fuel complying with the specification meets an applicable regulatory requirement for volatility with or without the addition of ethanol; and utilizing a fuel blending mechanism to blend a plurality of different fuel components in a manner meeting the specification. A different aspect involves a computer-readable medium storing a computer program that, when executed: determines a specification for a fuel volatility characteristic so that a fuel complying with the specification meets an applicable regulatory requirement for volatility with or without the addition of ethanol; and causes a fuel blending mechanism to blend a plurality of different fuel components in a manner meeting the specification.
Abstract:
Techniques, systems, apparatus and material are disclosed for generating multi-purpose H2-dense fuel for isolating contaminants and storing energy. In one aspect, a method of producing a renewable multi-purpose biomaterial for isolating a hazardous contaminant from an environment and storing energy includes dissociating biomass waste using a thermochemical reaction to produce at least one of hydrocarbon and alcohol by applying waste heat recovered from an external heat source. The method includes dissociating the at least one of hydrocarbon and alcohol to generate carbon and hydrogen. Carbon dioxide emitted from an industrial process is harvested and reacted with the hydrogen to generate the hydrogen-dense fuel. A hazardous contaminant is dissolved in the hydrogen-dense fuel operating as a solvent to generate a liquid mixture that isolates the hazardous contaminant from the environment. The hazardous contaminant includes at least one of a carbon donor and a hydrogen donor.
Abstract:
Methods, process, apparatus, equipment, and systems are disclosed for converting biomass into bio-oil fractions for chemicals, materials, feedstocks and fuels using a low-cost, integrated fast pyrolysis system. The system improves upon prior art by creating stable, bio-oil fractions which have unique properties that make them individually superior to conventional bio-oil. The invention enables water and low-molecular weight compounds to be separated into a final value-added fraction suitable for upgrading or extracting into value-added chemicals, fuels and water. Initial bio-oil fractions from the process are chemically distinct, have low-water content and acidity which reduces processing costs normally associated with conventional bio-oil post-production upgrading since fewer separation steps, milder processing conditions and lower auxiliary inputs are required. Biochar is stabilized so that it can be handled safely. The integrated fast pyrolysis process includes biomass storage, preparation, pretreatment, and conversion, product recovery and processing to create and store stable biochar and bio-oil fractions.

Abstract:
Once woods are converted to warming charcoal that is mixed up with purified water in the warming electric distiller of an extending distillation, the both matters turn out to the carbon liquid (1). While the powder of charcoal is mixed up with palm oil that is warming in different distiller, there is kind of combustible liquid (2). The step carbon liquid deriving from warming charcoal with water and combustible oil from charcoal mixed up with palm-oil are all together filtered to start again warming of mixing liquid in single electric distiller. Then the all liquid increases the volume level and energy power. In fact, the transfer of electric power of warming electric distiller inside combustible carbon liquid turns out this warming liquid to energy and combustible fuel with kind of road matters converting. This bio-fuel contributes to power an engine and vehicle without polluting effects into the environment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to acrylic block polymers, either block copolymers or homopolymers, synthesized by a controlled free-radical process, and their use as low temperature flow modifiers in bio-derived fuel compositions. They are especially useful in modifying the low temperature flow behavior in bio-derived fuels. The acrylic polymers are especially useful as cold filter plugging control additives in bio-derived fuels.
Abstract:
A machine apparatus used for the creation of a combustionable liquid fuel material herein known as Type-A suitable for replacement of petroleum gasoline. Primary objective and conclusion is: 1) Production of Type-A; 2) the most cost-effective Type-A production apparatus possible. Graphite electrodes immersed underwater are electronically arched. Resulting after combustion carbon emissions ionize with mostly hydrogen and oxygen from the water at about 5000 degrees Celsius. Post-plasmatic discharge rises is captured, refrigerated and/or pressurized internally into Type-A. All apparatus power requirements are satisfied by Type-A internally with the exception of an initial bootstrap power-up cycle. An apparatus heat exchange run steam turbine provides a secondary energy provision. An internal logic flow processing system detects and prioritizes through the use of input ports availability of null-costing solar, wind and steam turbine production of electricity prior to using Type-A for apparatus power requirements. A recycling consumable graphite rod component furthers existing cost-effectiveness.
