Biomass Oil Analysis
This online engineering PDH course describes biomass oils and distillate fuel use opportunities, production, composition, supply and biorefinery methods. This course also discusses business advantages of using alternate fuels such as biomass fuels to improve the bottom line.
Biorefinery technology can improve the income of firms that produce energy products combined with biobased coproducts. They do this by producing a variety of high value products in addition to the typically low value fuels. The biomass feedstocks evaluated in this report are lipids from animal fats, fish and poultry oils, plant oils, and recycled cooking greases. Higher rates of return attract investors and lead to expanded capacity. Profits generated by the biobased fuels may encourage more investment, more facilities, and eventually a larger biofuel supply. Thus, biomass biorefineries need biobased coproducts to succeed in the fuels industry.
This 8 PDH online course is applicable to engineering professionals, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of biomass oil analysis.
