Cellulose Agrobiomass & Crude Oil Co-Liquefaction To Bioindustrial Building Block Products - Prototype & Patented

Patented Technology: Non Pyrolysis Liquefaction Of Agro-Biomass And/Or With Crude oil of all Grades Wastes for Protease Enzyme production Petro-plastic Waste cleaning & recycling Biopolymer Additive & Production of Oil Spill Cleaner & Crude Oil Breaker & Agrochemical Products.

Agrobiomass wastes or/and Crude Oil of all grades were chemically treated to liquefaction without any heat application to produce valuable industrial building block products with vast potential market value. Working prototypes are available. The project currently seeks Collaborations to Scale.

Process in Brief

[edit | edit source]

The liquefied crude oil/agrobiomass hydrolysate biomass slurry further processed with oxidants mixed with a bio-defoamer to produce a lighter aqueous liquid which serves as the Enzyme to building block in Aminoacid building and amphoteric Solid Biodiesel polymerization initiation for all plant derived unsaturated fatty acids derived plant Based Veg Oils like soy oil, groundnut oil, palm kernel oil, etc. Unlike olefin metathesis which were based on the process of combining two olefins that rearrange themselves around their double bonds to create two new olefins e.g. metahesis is used to make propylene from ethylene and butylenes.

The same Biopolymer above also doubles as proprietary process for Emulsion biopolymer resin production which is based on reacting our in-house developed initiator from biomass wastes with any triglyceride which has double bonds in their molecule, either as a single molecule or as mixed molecules to produce a gelly white resin via emulsion polymerization reaction which hardens up with time on to wax-like resin.

The process is sure set to clean-up the menace of non-biodegradable fossil-plastic wastes in the environment by using a low energy process of co-melting the novel resin with all thermoplastics either virgin or wastes with a view to converting waste petrothermoplastics to a closed-loop recyclable materials and usefully too. This process is already patented in Nigeria, West Africa, the origin of Invention by Berekotry Detergent Ltd.
