Processes for Catalytic Conversion of Lignin to Liquid Bio-Fuels

Invention Summary Lignin is a complex biopolymer that is found in all vascular plants. It is the second most abundant renewable carbon source on earth and is currently generated as a high volume byproduct in the pulp/paper industry and some biorefineries. Lignin conversion into higher value fuels and additives can significantly enhance the competitiveness...

In-Situ Reservior Ozonation System to Remediate Problems Caused by Organic Deposition That Hamper the Efficient Extraction of Hydrocarbon

Invention Summary A method to remediate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH ie. asphaltene) in pipelines, contaminated soil and oil reservoirs. Through the use of an ozonated bipolar solvent, PAH is dissolved and cleaved resulting in the generation of polar molecules (oxidized hydrocarbons) that may be used as refinery feedstock or bioavailable for...
