Appl. No.:

13/018219

Inventors:

Chad Sayre - Columbia MO, US
Robert Heimann - Columbia MO, US
Nancy Heimann - Columbia MO, US

Assignee:

Enginuity Worldwide, LLC - Columbia MO

International Classification:

G06Q 99/00
F03G 7/00

US Classification:

705317, 60721

Abstract:

A system and method for energy use is provided that includes a sustainability campus of co-located facilities, with associated facilities such as an energy development center, a source, and a processing or collection facility. The sustainability campus incorporates design principles and processes to decrease environmental impact per unit energy usage, increase waste reuse within the sustainability campus, and increase the receipt of financial credits.

Nancy Heimann - Columbia MO, US

Assignee:

Enginuity Worldwide, LLC - Columbia MO

International Classification:

C10L 5/14

US Classification:

44577

Abstract:

A method of processing a biomass fuel compact is provided by the present disclosure that includes comprising combining a composition of combustible biomass materials, comminuting the composition of biomass materials, drying the comminuted composition of biomass materials, and adding an adhesive to the biomass materials, the adhesive comprising a starch and a hydroxide. Further additives are also provided, which include a silicate, a viscosity agent, a preservative, and a BTU additive. The composite biomass is processed into a shapeform, and then the shapeform is partitioned into individual pieces that are compatible with existing powerplants. In one form, the processing is performed at lower temperatures such that an endothermic reaction of the biomass materials and adhesive results.
