This system takes all of the exhaust to the algae ponds for clean up. Algae eats contaminants and makes oxygen. No emissions go into the air.

Coal storage silo

This is the original drawing of the purposed pilot plant. The process unit heats the raw coalin an oxygen free chamber to around 930 degrees. The coal gravity feeds through a system of louvers with vapor space that releases the hydrocarbons at their various platformtemperatures, similar to a refinery process. The fixed carbons remain in the form of cokeor char. A very high % of the containments are extracted with the hydrocarbons allowing the power plant to burn the coke or char with less emissions.

At the lower temperature are propane, butane, naphtha, gasoline, and the higher temperature, kerosene and diesel.Coal has a higher yield of hydrocarbons than oil shale. The power plants own the coal and have the mining permits in place. This is an upgrade system that enhances air quality.The by-product is market ready fuels. This process is a clean burning coal technology. All exhaust from the system is air entrained in the algae ponds for clean up.

This is a pilot plant illustration. The actual plant will be sized to the amount of coke or charthe power plant will use in a given period of time.

Sample of foam cement using the fly ash from the local power plant. See other slide presentation for foam cement houses

Fiber cement board is currently being produced and is not a new technology.Foam cement panels and blocks for housing are used around the world.

The concept in this project is to marry all of the technology together to make a coal burning power plant environmentally compatible with current socialand political goals by maximizing the total potential of all materials associatedwith the production of electricity from an existing or future coal burning power plant.

By using the current waste material from the burning of coal it should be lessexpensive to produce the building materials. The buildings will be very competitive in the market place.

This method of construction provides Insulation and structure in a single wall construction.This method of construction will be more durable in natural disasters such as flood, fire, and wind.

The foam cement construction will not be subject to termites, mice or other vermin, and will resist rot and mold.

There are many types of algae Following are some of the algae types available

Here, also, are other clips showing the interest by a couple of major companies In the potential of algae

The current fiber cement board is made using chopped cellulose or wood fiber.The algae used for clean up of the emissions from all operations in this project will produce oxygen and the mature fiber can be used in the cement fly ash board panels.

Directory:Biodiesel from Algae Oil From PESWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The advantages of deriving biodiesel from algae include rapid growth rates, a high per-acre yield; and algae biofuel contains no sulfur, is non-toxic, and is highly biodegradable. Some species of algae are ideally suited to biodiesel production due to their high oil content--in some species, topping out near 50%.
