An underwater pipe and connector assembly includes an underwater pipe having a pipe body and an annular connecting end section, a connector fixed in the connecting end section, and at least one reinforcing layer having a first fixed cover section fused to and fixedly covering the connecting end section, and a second fixed cover section fused to and fixedly covering an outer circumferential surface of the pipe body immediately adjacent the connecting end section. An outer coil is embedded between the first fixed cover section and the connecting end section and between the second fixed cover section and the outer circumferential surface of the pipe body immediately adjacent the connecting end section.
摘要:
Methods are provided for improved processing of lignocellulosic biomass. Hydrothermally pretreated lignocellulosic biomass is subject to separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) or prehydrolysed and subject to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) at high initial loadings of cellulase enzymes, at least 15 FPU/g DM. The cellulase enzymes are subsequently recycled and used in subsequent hydrolysis cycles along with a lower dose supplementation of fresh enzyme. Loss of enzyme activity between hydrolysis cycles is offset by improved overall process advantage.

摘要:
A range of concentrations exists in which fermentation inhibitors derived from pretreatment of lignocellulosic feed stocks inhibit growth of lactic acid bacteria without affecting fermentive yeast. By optimizing levels of fermentation inhibitors to fall within this range, yeast fermentations of lignocellulosic biomass can be conducted under non-sterile conditions with ethanol yields comparable to those achieved under sterile conditions. Optimised inhibitor levels can be achieved by controlling the water/biomass ratio of a lignocellulosic biomass during and after pretreatment, for example by washing the fiber fraction of a previously pretreated lignocellulosic biomass with a pre-defined amount of fresh water or recycled process solutions. Crude extracts of liquid fraction or process solutions from pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass can also provide an effective anti-bacterial treatment for first generation starch fermentations.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for syngas-production from biomass enabling the conversion of pre-treated biomasses having a high dry-matter content into electricity or oil-based products such as petrol, diesel, chemicals and plastics through the formation of syngas. The biomasses are converted into a biomass slurry having a suitable particle size and dry-matter content for optimal feeding and gasification in a pressurised gasifier.
摘要:
Disclosed are processes for liquefaction and saccharification of polysacharide containing biomasses having high dry matter content (>20%) and preferably possessing large average particle size. The polysaccharide containing biomasses are subject to enzymatic hydrolysis in a mixer that utilizes “free fall” mixing. “Free fall” mixing provides mechanical degradation of the biomass during hydrolysis and, in the case of lignocellulosic biomass, promotes movement of cellulase enzymes along cellulose chains, which improves enzymatic hydrolysis at high dry matter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for liquefaction and saccharification of polysaccharide containing biomasses, having a relatively high dry matter content. The present invention combines enzymatic hydrolysis with a type of mixing relying on the principle of gravity ensuring that the biomasses are subjected to mechanical forces, primarily shear and tear forces. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the further utilisation of such processed biomasses, e.g. for subsequent fermentation into bio-ethanol, bio-gas, specialty carbohydrates for food and fees as well as carbon feedstock for processing into plastics and chemicals.
摘要:
In a stereo pick-up having movable coils (14) and an SmCo magnet (22) with a high energy content, with the coil system (14, 15, 18) arranged in front of one pole face of said magnet, a yoke plate (23) of a magnetic soft material is arranged in front of said system to increase the magnetic induction in the coils. The great coercive force of the magnet is utilized for simplifying and reducing the costs of the mechanical structure in that the yoke plate is formed with two legs (26) which extend rearwardly, engage and are secured to two opposite sides of the magnet. The short-circuit of the magnet established by these legs has no noticeable impact on the induction in the air gap because of the high coercive force of the magnet. The manufacturing costs of the magnet system are additionally reduced in that, instead of a hole to receive a mounting assembly (16) for the coil system, the magnet, whose material is very hard, is formed in its underside with a slot (30) in whose bottom the mounting assembly is arranged and secured by means of a plate-shaped projection (31) on a casing member (32) of plastics.

An underwater pipe assembly includes a first pipe having a first collar and a first flange, a second pipe having a second collar and a second flange, and a connector apparatus including at least two first clamp seats, at least two first fasteners, at least two second clamp seats, at least two second fasteners. The first clamp seats are interconnected by the first fasteners to surround a junction of the first collar and the first flange. The second clamp seats are interconnected by the second fasteners to surround a junction of the second collar and the second flange. A plurality of connecting fasteners interconnect the first and second clamp seats, thereby clamping the first and second flanges between the first and second clamp seats.
