News and updates
Research Topics:
Bio-Oil:
- Bio-oil produced in Bionic facilities from sustainable input materials (e.g., wood) can be easily upgraded via soft hydrogenation into grid-compliant fuels such as diesel.
- The resulting fuel complies with standards and is comparable to HVO100, offering a sustainable alternative.
Biochar:
- Biochar produced from wood in Bionic facilities exhibits an extraordinarily high surface area (> 1,100 m²/g) compared to conventional pyrolysis char (400-500 m²/g).
- Using specific catalysts, pore sizes can be modified, and the addition of metals during the process can generate unique properties in the biochar. Applications include magnetic activated carbon, supercapacitors, and electrodes for batteries.
Exhaust Gas Treatment:
- A specially developed oxidizer operating at approximately 900°C ensures that the facility’s emissions are free from NOx, SOx, CO, and dioxins.
- Heat generated during oxidation is reused for preheating input materials and cooling systems, enhancing the environmental friendliness of Bionic facilities.
AI-Based Process Control:
- Incorporating AI systems for process control, especially in conjunction with online analysis equipment, has significantly improved adherence to specific product characteristics.
- Advanced AI models deployed on high-performance processors manage data streams from approximately 300 sensors, enabling automatic calibration and control of regulatory circuits.
Microwave System Improvements:
- Modifications in the microwave system now provide better protection for sensitive magnetrons against plasma discharges, significantly extending their service life.
Redundancy for 24/7 Operations:
- Various systems have been designed redundantly to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 production, even in the event of pump or other component failures.
CO2-Neutral Blockchain for Data Monitoring:
- Online monitoring data is now transmitted via a CO2-neutral blockchain, ensuring higher resilience and data security.
The continuous advancements in Bionicfuel technology demonstrate its versatility and potential to revolutionize sustainable production and energy recovery, offering robust solutions for environmental and industrial challenges.
