| Bioethers impact on the gasoline pool |
Kerry Rock and Maurice Korpelshoek, CDTech
|
2007 / Biofuels |
Benefits
of producing bioethers compared to blending bioethanol are examined for
the total European gasoline pool. The result of maximising
ethanol use in the pool via etherification is evaluated.
Economics for optimum biofuels operation are presented.

| Increasing biodiesel production |
Paulo Roberto Costa, Petrobras
|
2007 / Biofuels |
As
part of its renewable fuels programme, Brazil's need for increased
diesel production will be met by a new biodiesel process intregrated
into refinery hydrotreating units. The process provides high
conversion yields using agricultural feedstocks.

| Elemental analysis of biofuels |
Dirk Wissmann and Olaf Schulz, Spectro Analytical Instruments
|
2007 / Biofuels |
An
area of interest for the industry is the implementation of a good
quality control protocol for measuring bioalcohols.
Cost-effective analytical tools ensure control of undesirable levels of
key elemenets that can lead to problems, such as corrosion.

| Refining biofuels |
Rene G Gonzalez, PTQ
|
2007 / Biofuels |
Over
the next few years, biofuels production will be more closely integrated
with certain refinery operations. Advantages and disadvantages of
introducing biofuels into the refined product market are discussed,
along with the evolving technology.
