Process modelling of sugar mill biomass to energy conversion processes and energy integration of pyrolysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The sugar industry over the years has been producing sugarcane bagasse as part of the sugar milling process. Currently this sugar mill biomass is incinerated inefficiently as a means of their disposal to ...
Examination of the thermal properties of municipal solid waste and the scalability of its pyrolysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concerns surrounding the world’s current dependence on quickly depleting fossil fuels and their negative environmental impacts have brought about much research into renewable and sustainable energy sources. ...
Techno-economic study for sugarcane bagasse to liquid biofuels in South Africa : a comparison between biological and thermochemical process routes
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A techno-economic feasibility study was performed to compare biological and
thermochemical process routes for production of liquid biofuels from sugarcane bagasse
in South Africa using process modelling. ...
Pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The world’s depleting fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions have given rise to much
research into renewable and cleaner energy. Biomass is unique in providing the only renewable source ...
Comparisons of the technical, financial risk and life cycle assessments of various processing options of sugercane bagasse to biofuels in South Africa
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Through many years of research, a number of production schemes have been developed for converting lignocellulosic biomass into transport fuels. These technologies have been assessed through a number of ...
Evaluation of different process designs for biobutanol production from sugarcane molasses
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recently, improved technologies have been developed for the biobutanol fermentation
process: higher butanol concentrations and productivities are achieved during
fermentation, and separation and ...
Fast pyrolysis of corn residues for energy production.
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Increasing oil prices along with the climate change threat have forced governments, society and the energy sector to consider alternative fuels. Biofuel presents itself as a suitable replacement and has ...
Evaluating a fast pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation process for the production of jet fuel and jet-fuel range aromatics
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aviation industry is considering alternative fuels to reduce its dependency on fossil-derived jet fuel, and to mitigate environmental impacts of the latter. Governing bodies have set ambitious goals ...
