Product DescriptionBio Jet Fuels.
•Aviation specification compliance (chemical/physical)
– Cold flow properties (< -47 °C)
– Energy density (44 MJ/kg basis)
– Efficiency ($/kJ basis)
– Proper ratio of n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, cycloparaffins, and aromatics
– Compatibility with materials and additives
Detailed ImagesHydrolysis.
•Fuelstock consists of mixture of triglycerides and FFA
– Composition a function of source
•Beef tallow primarily stearic acid (saturated)
•Pork lard primarily oleic acid (mono-unsaturated)
– Price a function of free fatty acid content
•Edible lard ~0.4% FFA, ~$0.20/lb
•Inedible lard ~4% FFA, $0.15/lb
•Hydrolyze at high temperature and pressure
– Convert triglycerides into FFA and glycerol –250 °C, 5 MPa, 2 hours, 40% water and 60% oil
– Counterflow geometry
– 99%+ efficient conversion
•Mature technology, demonstrated at industrial scale
– Colgate-Emery Process most common
– Energy intensive, but not necessarily bad for Centia™
– No problems anticipated
•Working on faster process (higher temperature)
