Biorrefinería CLaMber - Abierta la licitación del suministro de los servicios auxiliares

By -
Hoy toca repasar algunas noticias recientes sobre el Proyecto CLaMBer que, poco a poco, va dando pasos importantes para que la planta piloto de I+D se haga realidad. En primer lugar, el día 22 de Abril de 2015 se acordó la aprobación de la Licencia de obra por Acuerdo de la Junta de Gobierno Local del Ayuntamiento de Puertollano. Una vez concedida la licencia, se procedió a la firma del acta de replanteo el 4 de mayo. Este hecho marcaba el inicio del plazo de ejecución para la obra de urbanización que comenzaba con el desbroce de la parcela.

Por otro lado, una noticia que seguro será de interés para algunas ingenierías. Hoy se publica en el Boletín Oficial del Estado, la Resolución de 5 de mayo de 2015, del Instituto de la Vid y el Vino de Castilla-La Mancha (IVICAM), por la que se anuncia la licitación del suministro de los Servicios Auxiliares de la Planta Piloto de I+D en Biorrefinería de Puertollano para el Proyecto Clamber. El presupuesto base de licitación tiene un importe neto de 1.892.335 euros que, con el IVA correspondiente asciende a 2.289.725,35 euros, y las ofertas o solicitudes de participación se podrán presentar hasta el próximo 15 de junio en el Instituto de la Vid y el Vino de Castilla-La Mancha, ubicado en Tomelloso, o en el correo electrónico contratacionclamber@jccm.es.

 Los requisitos mínimos que se deben cumplir para el diseño, fabricación, suministro, montaje, inspecciones, pruebas, puesta en marcha y formación del personal de las unidades que conformarán los servicios auxiliares a instalar en la Planta Piloto están descritos en el pliego de condiciones que se puede descargar desde la aplicación Picos. Dichas unidades van a ser tratadas como un suministro paquete, por lo que se debe incluir todo lo necesario para abastecer a las líneas de proceso que formarán parte de la Planta Piloto: agua bruta, vapor, agua caliente, agua para refrigeración, aire de instrumentos y aire de planta, aire estéril, gas natural y gases varios.

Alcohol-To-Fuel

Type of post: OVERVIEW. Introduction Bioethanol produced from fermentation of sugar based crops is the major product of the biofuels industry [1]. But, ethanol is not a “drop-in” solution and requires substantial changes in refining or distribution infrastructure. The properties of this alcohol (an oxygenated single molecule) are largely different than those of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel blendstocks (mixtures of hydrocarbons), leading to problems in blends. Ethanol can cause corrosion problems in transport pipelines that were designed to work only with gasoline. In the specific case of the aviation fuel, there are stricter quality requirements than fuels used in road transport. Ethanol shows low compatibility as a blendstock for aviation fuel because of its high volatility and water absorption and low flash point and energy density. Butanol is not as incompatible as ethanol, however, it still poses unacceptable safety risks due to its low flash point and high volatilit

Publication date: 14/12/2015 Last update: 24/05/2017 Description 1,2,3,4 D-Glucaric acid, also called saccharic acid, is a chemical compound with formula C 6 H 10 O 8 and member of a large family of molecules known as oxidized sugars. It is a naturally occurring aldaric acid, typically found in small amounts in a variety of fruits and vegetables. It is a highly functionalized compound with four chiral carbons and a plethora of reaction pathways. Its commercial potential was unveiled in the report “Top Value Added Chemicals from Biomass” from the Department of Energy of USA which described its use as a building block for a number of polymers, including new nylons and hyperbranched polyesters. Process technologies 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 The synthetic preparation of D-glucaric acid dates back to a report of Sohst and Tollens (1888) who carried out the nitric acid oxidation of D-glucose to D-glucaric acid. Current methods for its production are based on this process and in

Biobased Polyethylene (bio-PE) / Green Polyethylene / Renewable Polyethylene - Its biobased carbon content can reach 100%. - Renewable resource . It is produced from renewable biomass feedstocks as sugars or vegetable oils. - It reduces GHG emissions. Each ton produced captures and sequesters CO 2 from the atmosphere. - 100% drop-in . Chemically identical to its petrochemical counterpart. It has the same processing characteristics as fossil PE, therefore, it can be processed in the same equipment. - Non-biodegradable . It cannot be composted or biodegraded. - Thermoplastic . It can be molten and remoulded into the desired shape. - It can be recycled and processed into new bio-PE products using conventional technologies without requiring additional investments. - Building block or monomer: biobased ethylene .
