Algaelee wants to know does anyone have PBR plans? 7 months ago

There are a few manufacturers on the internet that make PBRs. I've even seen a few talks about it on this site and Oilgae. Does anyone have plans to make a small home version, costing less than $1000 USD? I don't care if most of the functions must be done manually. I just want a cheap version, to run some experiments.

Narsi wants to know Hydrocracking of Algae Biomass for Fuels 10 months ago

I read this recently @ CleanTick news - http://www.cleantick.com/portal/news/pages/955

"
Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation has signed a deal with the CRI Catalyst Company to produce commercially viable cellulosic hydrocarbon fuels and blends.

CRI had acquired the Integrated Hydropyrolysis and Hydroconversion technology (IH2) earlier this year. Aquaflow’s algal capability and this technology will be testes and evaluated as a part of the agreement.

IH2 is an advanced pyrolysis technology which will utilize low pressure hydrogen together with a catalyst to convert biomass cost-effectively into renewable gasoline, diesel and jet hydrocarbon blend stocks."

So, this is essentially hydrocracking, right, whatever fancy terms that CRI uses for the same thing? And what do you think of such a method? This involves the extensive use of hydrogen, so that could result in significant increase in costs?

Any intelligence on the suitability (technical and economic feasibility) of hydrocracking / hydroprocessing of biomass (especially algal biomass) will be very interesting

Thank you
