  11. Smithfield Bioenergy Utah Plant • Swine Waste • Average 50,000 lb/d Pig Manure (~144,000 pigs) • Supplemented with 6,000 lb/d Glycerin • Biogas Production • 400,000- 500,000 cuft/d from Pig Manure • 1,000,000 cuft/d with Glycerin • Products • Every 1,000cuft biogas could produce one gallon of methanol • 500,000 cuft Biogas => 5,000 gallon Methanol 1,000,000 cuft => 10,000 gallon Methanol per day

  12. Biodiesel Yield at Smithfield Energy 100 lb oil + 21.71 lb methanol → 100.45 lb biodiesel + 10.40 lb glycerol + 10.86 lb XS methanol 100 gal of oil + 24.65 gal methanol → 103.3 gal biodiesel + 7.42 gal glycerol + 12.33 gal XS methanol Typical proportions for the chemicals used: Reactants • Fat or oil (e.g. 100 lb soybean oil) • Primary alcohols (e.g. 10 lb methanol) Catalyst • Mineral base (e.g. 0.3 lb sodium hydroxide)

  13. Biohydrogen Production from Renewable Organic Wastes

  14. H2 and acid production Glucose Solvent production EMP Pathway H2 Pyruvate Acetate Acetyl CoA Ethanol Acetoacetyl CoA Propanol Butyrate Butyryl CoA Butanol Dark Fermentation • Dark fermentation carried out by genus Clostridium

  15. Metabolic Pathway of Biological Hydrogen Production • Biological hydrogen production accompanied with organic acid production C6H12O6+2H2O 2CH3COOH + 2CO2 + 4H2 C6H12O6CH3CH2CH2COOH + 2CO2 + 2H2 4C6H12O6+2H2O  2CH3COOH +3CH3CH2CH2COOH + 8CO2 + 10H2

  16. Kinetic parameters of Michaelis-Menten equation NFDM: Non-fat dry milk • NFDM: 57% carbohydrate; • Food waste: 43% carbohydrate • Hydrogen production rate: lactose > sucrose (Woodward et al., 2000 )

  17. Batch Study Conclusion • The higher carbohydrate content, the higher substrate affinity • High Ks value: high substrate concentration requirement • Not appropriate to use particulate organic waste for hydrogen fermentation

  18. ASBR Study Conclusion • Effect of HRT • Optimum HRT: 16 h • At short HRT, ORP increased to hostile the survive of anaerobic microbes. • Effect of pH • The best performance: pH 4.9 Effect of substrate (sucrose) concentration • Effect of substrate concentration • The best performance: 25 g COD/L

  19. Organic Acids Adsorption – Recovery - Purification • Adsorption:Mesoporous silica media incorporated with a layer of amines to adsorb organic acids • Recovery:Akali wash off the organic acids and regenerate the media • Purification:Harvest organic acids through purification e.g. distillation

  21. Chitin, the wonder substance • Cosmetics and toiletry • Water Treatment • Medical • Pulp and paper • Biotechnology • Food • Membranes http://www.meronbiopolymers.com/html/mbio2apln.htm

  22. Chitin Prediction • "Chitosan and chitosan oligosaccharide are ideal biomaterials which hold much promise for the future," (Prodex's Joseph Nichols). • "There has been increased interest by scientists worldwide and industry is beginning to recognize their possibilities. They could very well be important biomaterials in the next decade. The day has come for these natural polymers to come into their own."

  27. Nisin production from Soy Whey Nisin is an antimicrobial peptide usually produced by the certain species of Lactococcus. Nisin exhibits the broad antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria including food borne pathogens. In this study, nisin fermentation was conducted in soy whey as growth media by using the strains of Lactococcus lactis.

  28. Agar Well Diffusion Assay for nisin quantification Growth of Micrococcus luteus Zone of inhibition

  29. Results:Maximum nisin activity was observed at 36 h of growth period
