Sustainable transportation is making great strides and bio-jet fuel via Fischer-Tropsch is coming on the scene. Electrification of the automotive and public transport sectors is reducing emissions and allowing increased use of renewables. This has not been the case for aviation until recently, as that industry has continued to consume vast quantities of fossil fuels…
What does a Fischer Tropsch Expert do? The Fischer–Tropsch process (or Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis or FT) is a set of chemical reactions converts a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas into liquid hydrocarbons (like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel). It is highly feedstock flexible and makes it possible to prepare high-quality drop-in fuels, high-value…
The task of process design is to lay out the process unit operations in a Block Flow Process Diagram (BFPD), in which the process unit operations are connected by the continuous process stream flows. A process is the transformation of raw materials, into one or more products of commercial value. The process development aims for…
By Dr. Zoltan Kish The increasing amount of waste is one of the most challenging problems facing the World, which creates enormous environmental problems. According to the World Bank, Canada produces the most waste per capita in the world. Additionally, Canada recycles just 9 percent of its plastics. Banning foreign waste import by China and…
The term “circular economy” refers to an economy in which generated waste materials are recycled or converted into forms retaining as high value as possible, as opposed to a traditional linear economy where materials are simply put in landfills to decompose at what every rate, if at all. Recycling is part of a circular economy…
Waste-to-energy technology (WTE) refers to processes that convert trash – municipal solid wastes (MSW), agricultural wastes, medical or process wastes– into usable energy, such as electricity, heat or steam. A variety of methods are used to make solid, liquid or gas fuel. Waste to Energy includes a variety of technologies consisting of several different thermochemical or…
What is a “circular economy,” and how is it different from its opposite, a “linear economy”? For quite some time, the world has been in a linear economy, where the raw materials we use to make products, and the products themselves, were turned into waste and thrown away after use. With the world’s population and…
