Biodiesel Production Technologies (Energy Science, Engineering and Technology)

Bio Fuels Facts

Biodiesel production is a very modern and technological area that is wining relevance and market due to its benefits, such as that it is biodegradable, a renewable and alternative source of fuel with less pollutants and less particle pollution. Different studies have been carried out using various oils as raw material, different alcohol as well as different catalysts, homogeneous ones such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sulphuric acid and supercritical fluids, and heterogeneous ones such as solid resins and enzymes as well as new technologies that are being developed every day. This book discusses the global energy situation in regard to the biodiesel industry, as well as a specific focus on operational conditions, kinetics model and economic comparison in order to see if they could be used as profitable alternatives.

Gasoline, Diesel and Ethanol Biofuels from Grasses and Plants

Bio Fuels Facts

The world is currently faced with two significant problems: fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation, which are continuously being exacerbated due to increasing global energy consumption. As a substitute for petroleum, renewable fuels have been receiving increasing attention due a variety of environmental, economic, and societal benefits. The first-generation biofuels – ethanol from sugar or corn and biodiesel from vegetable oils – are already on the market. The goal of this book is to introduce readers to second-generation biofuels obtained from non-food biomass, such as forest residue, agricultural residue, switch grass, corn stover, waste wood, municipal solid wastes, and so on. Various technologies are discussed, including cellulosic ethanol, biomass gasification, synthesis of diesel and gasoline, bio-crude by hydrothermal liquefaction, bio-oil by fast pyrolysis, and the upgradation of biofuel. This book strives to serve as a comprehensive document presenting various technological pathways and environmental and economic issues related to biofuels.

Reef BioFuel – 500 mL – 17 oz.

Bio Fuels Facts

  • Liquid
  • 500-ml

Reef BioFuel helps to maintain biological balance by enhancing the rate of microbial growth and promoting rapid, natural phosphate and nitrate reduction in marine and reef aquaria. It encourages the polyp expansion of all corals as well as the reproduction of bacterioplankton, an important food source of suspension feeding inverts. Biofuel is a an effective and safe replacement of the “vodka method” of microbial activity. It can also help to expedite biological filtration in new tanks.
