20090199460 | BIODIESEL PURIFICATION BY A CONTINUOUS REGENERABLE ADSORBENT PROCESS - A quick, economical and environmentally friendly, “green”, process for the continuous purification of biodiesel (fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAE)) is described using a powdered, granulated or extruded adsorbent. The adsorbent is contained in a column system and is regenerated for reuse multiple times. The process employs an adsorbent such as, but not limited to, carbon, silica, clay, zeolite or a metal silicate contained in a column to remove the impurities from fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAE) or crude biodiesel in a continuous process. The process utilizes the adsorbent column system for the purification of biodiesel, rather than water or filtration, to remove soaps and other impurities entrained in a crude biodiesel. The crude biodiesel is contacted with an adsorbent packed into a column, or multiple columns in series, for a sufficient amount of time to remove impurities such as, but not limited to, soaps, metals, free glycerin, sterol glucosides and many of the other impurities that reduce the stability of biodiesel. The resulting finished biodiesel exiting the column(s) is ready for the methanol recovery process. Once the adsorbent no longer removes the desired amount of impurities, it is regenerated for reuse. The solvent used for the regeneration process is reclaimed and reused by recycling it back to the transesterification reaction. | 08-13-2009 |
20100087666 | Triacylglycerol purification by a continuous regenerable adsorbent process - An economical and environmentally friendly, “green”, process for the continuous purification of triacylglycerol (TAG) is described using a powdered, granulated or extruded adsorbent, which can be used in either the chemical or physical refining of edible oils and fats, both of which are traditionally used to refine TAG. The adsorbent is contained in a column system and is regenerated for reuse multiple times. The process utilizes the adsorbent column system as a treatment after chemical refining or before physical refining rather than water or filtration, respectively, to remove soaps and other impurities entrained in a crude triacylglycerol. In the chemical refining process, the crude degummed triacylglycerol (CDTAG) is first refined to remove FFA, forming a once refined triacylglycerol (ORTAG), and then contacted with an adsorbent packed into column(s) prior to deodorization. In the physical refining process, the crude degummed triacylglycerol (CDTAG) is contacted with an adsorbent packed into column(s) prior to the removal of FFA and subsequent deodorization. The CDTAG or ORTAG is contacted with an adsorbent packed into a column, or multiple columns in series, for a sufficient amount of time to remove impurities such as, but not limited to, soaps, metals, chlorophyll, and many of the other compounds that reduce the stability of the TAG. The resulting TAG exiting the column(s) is ready for the deodorization process. Once the adsorbent no longer removes the desired amount of impurities, it is regenerated for reuse. Such a continuous regenerable adsorbent refining process substantially reduces the amount of fresh water required and the amount of waste water generated to purify TAG and reduces the amount of solid waste produced. The result is a cost effective and environmentally friendly edible oil refining process. | 04-08-2010 |

20120055219 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CURVING METAL PANELS - The pressures provided by several wheels or rollers on various members of a metal panel are controlled to produce a curved panel of desired radius with little or no distortion. Predetermined pressures are used to achieve the desired curvature and increased pressures provide smaller radii of curvature. For metal “U” panels pressure is preferably applied on two members. For seamed metal panels pressure is preferably applied on three members. Additional curvature may be obtained by use of a curving bar. Motors drive the wheels, which urge these panel members through the wheels, the wheels having a separation distance less than the original thickness of the metal. This results in the metal of those members being elongated, thereby curving the panel with little or no distortion. In exemplary embodiments curved panels may be formed at a rate of 22-25 feet per minute or at 40-55 feet per minute. | 03-08-2012 |
