20150210931 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF JET FUEL, DIESEL, AND GASOLINE FROM LIPID-CONTAINING FEEDSTOCKS - The production of jet fuel, diesel and gasoline components from lipid rich biomass is described. This process includes a hydrothermal pyrolysis step followed by catalytic conversion of biovapors to the fuel product. Biochar is a co-product of the process. This process avoids capital intensive investment in oil extraction technologies, and instead incorporates the oil extraction and oil conversion in one step. | 07-30-2015 |
20150158006 | SYSTEM FOR MAKING RENEWABLE FUELS - Multiple catalytic processing stations couple with a system which produces volatile gas streams from biomass decomposition at discrete increasing temperatures. These catalytic processing stations can be programmed to maximize conversion of biomass to useful renewable fuel components based on input feedstock and desired outputs. | 06-11-2015 |
20150114908 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURIFYING PROCESS WATER PRODUCED FROM BIOMASS CONVERSION TO FUELS - In accordance with one embodiment, a process is described for a water treatment process in which water produced from a fuel production process is treated with recycled biochar. In accordance with one aspect, process water is passed through activated carbon generated by the biomass pyrolysis and gasification. In accordance with another aspect, the process water is treated to expel gaseous compounds within the process water. In this manner both inorganics, light organics and heavy organics can be removed from the process water. No fermentation is involved. | 04-30-2015 |
20140345343 | ENHANCING BIOCHAR PERFORMANCE USING PYROLYSIS ACID STREAM - A method of producing a modified biochar and the use of the biochar as a soil amendment. The modified biochar can be produced by contacting biochar with an acid-containing solution obtained from an acid containing stream produced in a pyrolysis process, which produces biochar. In accordance with one aspect, a cellulose-containing biomass is pyrolyzed to generate a gaseous organic acid-containing stream, which is condensed to produce an organic acid-containing solution. The biochar is then modified by contact with the organic acid-containing solution. | 11-27-2014 |
20140183022 | STAGED BIOMASS FRACTIONATOR - Various biomass reactors systems and methods of pyrolyzing biomass are disclosed. One type of biomass reactor system comprises a plurality of biomass processing stations configured in series, each station comprising an auger reactor including an auger inlet for receiving biomass and a transfer screw for conveying the biomass through the auger reactor. | 07-03-2014 |
20140109638 | METHOD FOR REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF A CONVERSION PROCESS - A method is described for reducing the carbon footprint of any commercially important industrial conversion process. The output of this conversion process can be combustible fuels, chemicals, electricity or heat energy. In its broadest form, a carbon negative module outputs energy to a conversion energy and this energy replaces conventional fossil-fuel based energy. A sequesterable carbonaceous solid is produced by the carbon negative process which represents a net carbon withdrawal from the atmosphere. | 04-24-2014 |
20140088205 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING NEGATIVE CARBON FUEL - A method and process is described for producing negative carbon fuel. In its broadest form, a carbon-containing input is converted to combustible fuels, refinery feedstock, or chemicals and a carbonaceous solid concurrently in separate and substantially uncontaminated form. In an embodiment of the invention, biomass is converted via discrete increasing temperatures under pressure to blendable combustible fuels and a carbonaceous solid. The carbonaceous solid may be reacted to synthesis gas, sold as charcoal product, carbon credits, used for carbon offsets, or sequestered. | 03-27-2014 |
20140082996 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAKING RENEWABLE FUELS - Multiple catalytic processing stations enable a method for producing volatile gas streams from biomass decomposition at discrete increasing temperatures. These catalytic processing stations can be programmed to maximize conversion of biomass to useful renewable fuel components based on input feedstock and desired outputs. | 03-27-2014 |
20140073708 | SYSTEM FOR MAKING RENEWABLE FUELS INCLUDING GASOLINE, DIESEL, AND JET FUEL - Multiple catalytic processing stations coupled with a system which produces volatile gas streams from biomass decomposition at discrete increasing temperatures or constant temperature. These catalytic processing stations can be programmed to maximize conversion of biomass to jet fuel components. The system may also include a processing station for subjecting biomass within the stations to at least one programmable starting temperature (T | 03-13-2014 |
