Bartel has developed a mobile device that converts biomass into polyols
The bateer (Battelle) of the company's engineers and scientists have invented a mobile device, can be idle biomass materials such as wood, agricultural waste into valuable bio-oil. For now, bateer can convert a tonne of pine wood into 130 gallons of bio-oil per day. This oil intermediate can be upgraded to gas/oil mixture or jet fuel through hydrogenation. Converting bio-oil into advanced biofuels is a key step in bateer's research. A series of tests on the bio-based gasoline produced by bartels showed that the company's products could be mixed with gasoline currently used in the market, and could meet the demand for renewable fuels. It can also be converted into biological-based glycol, which can be used as an alternative to petroleumol to participate in chemical reactions. Through the testing certification of third-party polyurethane manufacturers, bateer's biogeolol products are indeed available. At present, bateer is working on a "one ton, a ton" test run at a plant in west Jefferson, Ohio. This trial operation is the focus of the second phase of bateer's mobile pyrolysis technology. The past four years, battle in the first stage of the work, in the meantime, bateer new experiment device to transform every day 50 pounds of sawdust, the next battle will be looking for the right strategic partner new demonstration unit. At present, the battle of the experts mainly used in mobile pyrolysis device is still a pine sawdust, of course, other agricultural waste pyrolysis device can also process, such as corn straw, willow branches, etc. In addition, the waste of the various state after the processing of the equipment will be disposed of properly. Liquid waste can be safely recycled, fixed waste can be used as fertilizer and gas waste will be monitored safely. Because the reaction unit is small, the pyrolysis device can be mounted on the truck trailer, which is very flexible to transport. The device has an obvious cost advantage over the big equipment that needs to transport biomass material to its fixed location.
