El Blog informaba el pasado septiembre de que St1 había decidido construir una unidad de fabricación de hidrógeno con el objetivo de comenzar la producción de diésel renovable en su refinería de Gotemburgo. Alfa Laval ha ganado un pedido para instalar una línea de proceso en esta nueva biorrefinería. El pedido incluye varios equipos que eliminarán diversas impurezas de las grasas y aceites usados, que luego se convertirán en combustibles renovables. Las entregas están programadas para 2021.

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...

IBN-One awards FEED for the first bio-isobutene biorefinery to Technip and IPSB

By -
Image
A very short post to report a new contract award that has been announced by Global Bioenergies few hours ago (see press release ). Following a consultation process carried out in spring 2016, IBN-One (a subsidiary of Global Bioenergies and Cristal Union ) has awarded the initial engineering work contract for its bio-isobutene plant to a consortium that includes Technip and IPSB . Video: Activity and prospects of Global Bioenergies (including its vision to commercialize bio-isobutene) This first front-end engineering design (FEED) phase will run for 12 months and precedes the detailed engineering studies for the plant’s construction. IPSB will be responsible for the engineering of the plant’s upstream segment, dedicated to the intake of the raw material from the neighboring sugar mill and its conversion into bio-isobutene by a process of fermentation. Technip will manage the project and conduct the studies for the downstream part of the process, namely the purification o...

Alliance Bio-Products, Inc. , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc . , have received approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Office of Rural Development for the purchase of a closed ethanol plant in Indian River County (Florida). The approved purchase includes the fully functional plant, more than 143 acres (58 ha) that the plant resides on and all related equipment and vehicles (see press release ). The former facility (INEOS New Planet BioEnergy plant) had been constructed for demonstrating at full commercial scale the economic conversion of a variety of different lignocellulosic waste biomass feedstocks to bioethanol and renewable electricity utilizing the INEOS Bio technology (gasification + fermentation). In addition to having the capacity to produce 8 million gallon (30 million litres) per year of ethanol, the plant also could generate up to 6 MW of electricity. The construction was completed in June 2012 and the first product...
