20150065762 | CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS OF OLIVE MILL WASTE - Methods and apparatus for producing bio-oil that include providing a catalyst that includes red mud in a catalyst bed in a fluid state, the catalyst being maintained at a temperature suitable for pyrolysis; providing a flow of a non-reactive fluid into the catalyst bed; entraining a biomass that includes olive mill waste in the flow of non-reactive fluid, so that the biomass is delivered to the catalyst bed; pyrolyzing the biomass; collecting gases and vapors that result from pyrolysis; and condensing the gases and vapors into bio-oil. | 03-05-2015 |

20090031616 | THERMOCHEMICAL METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF POULTRY LITTER - Methods for converting waste litter into a product slate by pyrolysis are described. Waste litter is entrained in a non-reactive gas and delivered to a fluid reactor bed maintained at a temperature sufficient to cause pyrolysis of the poultry litter. The reactor bed consists of a fluidizing medium, such as sand, which is fluidized by the non-reactive gas. Upon pyrolysis of the poultry litter, products such producer gas, biooil, and char are formed. | 02-05-2009 |
20090165378 | FRACTIONAL CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS OF BIOMASS - Methods for fractional catalytic pyrolysis which allow for conversion of biomass into a slate of desired products without the need for post-pyrolysis separation are described. The methods involve use of a fluid catalytic bed which is maintained at a suitable pyrolysis temperature. Biomass is added to the catalytic bed, preferably while entrained in a non-reactive gas such as nitrogen, causing the biomass to become pyrolyzed and forming the desired products in vapor and gas forms, allowing the desired products to be easily separated. | 07-02-2009 |
20090239278 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIOETHANOL FROM A LIGNOCELLULOSICBIOMASS AND RECYCLED PAPER SLUDGE - A method producing ethanol by combining an plant fiber material containing calcium carbonate with at least one lignocellulosic agricultural residue into a mixture. The plant fiber material can be a paper sludge. The mixture is then hydrolyzed and the resultant hydrolysate is then fermented into ethanol. | 09-24-2009 |
20100212215 | PRODUCTION OF STABLE BIOMASS PYROLYSIS OILS USING FRACTIONAL CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS - Methods for fractional catalytic pyrolysis which allow for conversion of biomass into a slate of desired products without the need for post-pyrolysis separation are described. The methods involve use of a fluid catalytic bed which is maintained at a suitable pyrolysis temperature. Biomass is added to the catalytic bed, preferably while entrained in a non-reactive gas such as nitrogen, causing the biomass to become pyrolyzed and forming the desired products in vapor and gas forms, allowing the desired products to be easily separated. | 08-26-2010 |

20110113960 | BIODEGRADABLE LITTER AMENDMENT MATERIAL FROM AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES - The present invention relates to a biodegradable material for controlling ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, odor, and/or volatile organic compounds emissions from organic wastes. The biodegradable material in accordance with the present invention may be used to control, reduce, or prevent noxious emissions from organic wastes from, for example, animals and animal production, food and food production, pets, composting, organic fertilizer, biosolids, and potting soil mixtures to name a few. The present invention also relates to sachets, bioscrubbers, biofilters, and biomass filters comprising a biodegradable material for controlling such emissions. The present invention further relates to processes for producing and processes for using a biodegradable material to control noxious emissions from organic waste. In particular, the present invention is useful with respect to managing animal wastes, including, for example, pet, poultry, swine, dairy, horse, other livestock, other animal, and human wastes. | 05-19-2011 |
