Unsurprisingly: apart from some occasional optimizations (less chemicals, better waste recycling), processes haven’t changed. Miles of fabrics are immersed in gigantic “washing machines” full of dye and water. Alchemie’s machines dye cotton using 95 percent less water and 70 percent less energy. Here we have a revolution.

The UniMelt process eliminates waste water and hazardous by-products by removing coprecipitation and the associated washing steps, and reduces energy usage and CO 2 emissions threefold by eliminating the long thermal processing required in conventional NMC production.

The LanzaTech facility will recycle industrial waste gases from steel manufacturing to produce a low cost ethanol intermediate: “Lanzanol.” LanzaTech captures the waste gas from refineries and manufacturing plants and feeds the CO-rich gas to microbes that consume the gas and produce ethanol.

The water supply for the biomass sorghum crop was lower-quality pump water containing salts that typically damage crops. The project was located in the western San Joaquin Valley, which has received a low water allocation from state and federal sources for the past several years.

The resulting waste heat could be used to generate the water vapor needed for high-temperature electrolysis. A future high-temperature electrolyzer could also be coupled with a system for synthesizing chemicals such as methane (e.g., an e-gas system).

G2BioChem’s process design and patents, applied across the three phases of the planned demo plant. The group is committed to making transportation fuel from agricultural waste, energy crops and forest biomass. The demo plant will have a capacity of 5 MT per day and has been designed so that it can be scaled up to 2000 MT per day.

Red Lion’s patented Waste to Energy (W2E) technology involves feedstock pyrolysis, followed by non-catalytic steam reforming which produces syngas with energy content ranging from 300- 450 BTU/SCF. The technology can be manipulated to produce syngas with different H 2 to CO ratios.

In the Unitel process, the feedstock—a slurry or “soup” of water and cultivated algae (1% to 20% by weight) is continuously treated in a special hydrolysis reactor to yield: a fatty acid product; a “sweet” water stream containing glycerol and other solubles; and.

The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. If compression continues after the reaction happens, it fights against the pressure generated by the reaction, wasting energy. If compression stops too soon, the reaction never happens.
