Hydration kinetics of red lentil seeds were carried out for whole, dehusked and splits at different temperatures (15 to 45 °C). Several physical properties evaluated as function soaking temperatures. Henderson Pabis, Page, two term exponential Peleg models fitted the obtained hydration data. To assess adequacy three statistical parameters, coefficient multiple determinations (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) chi-square (χ2) employed. model (R2 > 0.990; RMSE < 0.018; χ2 0.001) was found be...
Pilot-scale demonstrations and techno-economic simulations are proposed for overcoming uncertainties surrounding technology scale-up impacts economics of microalgae (MA) biorefineries. Therefore, to contribute knowledge on promising value chains regarding near-term commercialization, this study investigated the performances alternate commercial (1–10 t MA/d) spirulina MA biorefinery scenarios via integrated pilot Aspen Plus® process simulations. The include cultivation processing into: (I)...
The valorisation of forestry residues is gaining interest due to the increasing concerns over climate change and resource scarcity. They are considered important renewable resources feedstocks produce energy other derived bioproducts. However, a holistic technical environmental analysis these via fast pyrolysis considering different forest residue alternatives operational conditions still lacking in literature. For this reason, study evaluated production bio-oil, synthesis gas biochar using...
Poultry and forestry waste residues, despite their environmental concerns, offer nutrient-rich content wider availability. Utilising them in cascading approaches can create high-value products establish new value chains bioeconomy. This study aims to evaluate the consequences of coupling residue pyrolysis poultry litter anaerobic digestion processes a waste-to-energy system. Moreover, scenario analysis was conducted considering six scenarios with varying total solids loading biochar (8%,...
This study focusses on the design and scale-up of industrial lactic acid production by fermentation dairy cheese whey permeate based standard methodological parameters. The aim was to address shortcomings methodologies provide a framework for fermenter that enables accurate estimation energy consumption suitable selection turbine speed deployment. Moreover, life cycle assessment (LCA) carried out identify potential impacts possibilities reduce operation associated emissions at an early...
Abstract This paper presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) of heat supply scenarios for the replacement fossil-based energy systems through case study focusing on an existing gas-fired boiler supplying buildings located in Tallaght, Ireland. The three considered are waste fed pump district heating system (WHP-DH), biomass CHP plant (BCHP-DH), and individual gas (GB). found that both DH have lower environmental impact than GB, with BCHP-DH being superior to WHP-DH. However, using 2030...
