Energy cane for Biofuel (Biodiesel) productionPhani Mohan K
Energy cane has large potential to ensure continuous supply of raw materials for biofuel industries throughout the year. The energy need of the country is expected to be more than 200% during 2030. In addition, India’s economy is rural based and one of the developmental parameter is the availability of power. It is estimated that establishment of 10MW/hr power industry requires about 700 of bagasse with 50% moisture per day. This power plant requires 3,700 ha of energycane plantation with average harvestable biomass potential of 150t/ha for uninterrupted supply of feedstock throughout the year.
The thermo chemical process uses high temperatures to transform this feedstock into a synthesis gas. This gas is then transformed into different types of liquid or gaseous fuels, called “synthetic fuels” (such as BTLdiesel and bio-SNG). The future scenarios analyse two technology pathways for analysis i) cellulosic ethanol into ethanol and ii) BTL-diesel using the Fischer-Tropsch process.
Future would depend on second-generation biofuels: The future of biofuels lies with second generation biofuels for two reasons: resource constraints and the lack of biomass. Availability of biomass: Despite having high potential for supplying several different types of feedstock (particularly agricultural residues), India struggles to ramp up feedstock collection to levels needed to meet the growing domestic bioenergy demand. Our conservative estimates of future crop residue supply suggest that India has the biomass resources to produce approximately 50 billion litres of biofuels from second-generation sources in 2030–31, which will be sufficient to meet the 20 percent nation-wide blending target. Therefore, it is critically important to establish a proper mechanism for collection; transportation and handling of biomass feedstock, allowing the country become a player in second-generation biofuels production.
Seminar on Biodiesel from Jatropha seed.
Biodiesel, a promising substitute as an alternative fuel has gained significant attention due to the predicted shortness of conventional fuels and environmental concern.
Jatropha biodiesel is ideal solution to meet out higher diesel demand and oil imports. By mixing of 20 % biodiesel with diesel will help India to save 7.3× 106 tonnes of diesel per year.
Biodiesel is a form of diesel fuel manufactured from vegetable oils or animal fats.

Introduction to Biodiesel, its process, history and AdvantagesMd Muqtar Ahmed Khan
An introduction to biodiesel, the typical manufacturing process. Biodiesel production is the process of producing the biofuel, biodiesel, through the chemical reactions of transesterification and esterification. Biodiesel is a liquid biofuel obtained by chemical processes on vegetable oils(used or unused) or animal fats. Due to the rapid decline in crude oil reserves, the use of vegetable oils as diesel fuels is again promoted in many countries. Depending upon climate and soil conditions, different nations are looking into different vegetable oils for diesel fuels.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Biodiesel is the name given to clean burning alternative fuel
produced from domestic renewable resources. The main commodity
sources for biodiesel in India is non-edible oils obtained from plant
species such as Jatropha Curcas (Ratanjyot), Pongamia Pinnata
(Karanj), Calophyllum inophyllum (Nagchampa), Hevca brasiliensis
(Rubber) etc.
According to ASTM standards Biodiesel is technically defined
as ,”the mono alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from
renewable liquid feedstock, such as vegetable fats and animal oils ,for
use in compression ignition (CI) engines”.
3. 1. To examine the potential of waste cooking oil (WCO) for
their suitability as feed stock for biodiesel preparation.
2. To compare the fuel properties of the methyl esters of
WCO (WCO-biodiesel) with those of esters of fresh oil
and base line diesel fuel and also to investigate the
emissions and performance of a diesel engine running on
above biodiesels.
4. Biodiesel is produced by the transesterification of long
chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils and animal fats
(triglycerides) with aliphatic alcohols (methanol or ethanol)
in presence of an appropriate catalyst to form esters of long
chain fatty acid (biodiesel) and glycerol (glycerin).
Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-
based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl,
ethyl , or propyl) esters.
5.
6. Transesterification of a vegetable oil was
conducted as early as 1853 by Patrick Duffy, many
years before the first diesel engine became functional.
Rudolf Diesel’s prime model, a single 10 ft (3 m) iron
cylinder with a flywheel at its base, ran on its own
power for the first time in Augsburg, Germany, on 10
August 1893 running on nothing but peanut oil. In
remembrance of this event, 10 August has been
declared “International Biodiesel Day".
7.
8. 1. Biodiesel has better lubricating properties and much
higher centane ratings than today's lower sulfur diesel
fuels.
2. Biodiesel addition reduces fuel system wear, and in
low levels in high pressure systems increases the life of
the fuel injection equipment that relies on the fuel for
its lubrication.
9. Biodiesel can be used in pure form (B100) or may be blended with petroleum
diesel at any concentration in most injection pump diesel engines.
New extreme high-pressure (29,000 psi) common rail engines have strict
factory limits of B5 or B20, depending on manufacturer.
Biodiesel has different solvent properties than petrodiesel, and will degrade
natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles (mostly vehicles manufactured
before 1992), although these tend to wear out naturally and most likely will
have already been replaced with FKM, which is nonreactive to biodiesel.
Biodiesel has been known to break down deposits of residue in the fuel lines
where petrodiesel has been used.
10. It is natural, renewable and dissolved in water faster
then sugar.
It contains 11% Oxygen by weight and contains no
sulphur.
It takes black smoke from the back of a vehicle and
makes the exhaust smell faintly of popcorn!
It is lower toxic emission and particulate matter.
It is safe to store and has high flash point
11. 1) A vehicle cannot run on WVO alone; it must
start and stop on diesel because the engine has
to be warmed up and the oil must be heated
before use.
2) The whole cost of Bio-diesel is typically higher
than diesel fuel.
12. Methanol storage containers must be metal,
grounded, use masonry supports and must not
spill contents if connectors burn through.
Space required around tanks for firefighting
access.
Explosion proof electrical wiring.
13. 1. Biodiesels (Methyl Esters) is a diesel replacement waste
fuel made from virgin vegetable oils such as Soyabean or
Rapseed. It can also be made from recycled restaurant oils.
2. It is all natural, renewable & dissolves in water faster then
sugar.
3. It is 11% Oxygen by weight and contains no sulphur.
4. Biodiesel is safe to store and has a high flash point.
5. Biodiesel has greater Cetane from (50-56%) and lubricity
than diesel fuel, infact, 1% biodiesel increases lubricity by
upto 30%.
