The document summarizes a presentation on IH2 technology for producing transportation fuels from biomass. IH2 technology uses a two-stage process of hydropyrolysis and hydroconversion to convert various biomass feedstocks into hydrocarbon fuels and hydrogen. The presentation highlights that IH2 technology is flexible to different feedstocks, produces fungible hydrocarbon fuels with low oxygen content at yields of 80-160 gallons per ton of biomass, and offers economic and environmental advantages over other biomass conversion methods.
CRI/Criterion has deployed high-throughput tools for formulation of new catalyst compositions, and for testing the performance of the catalysts in several applications. This ability allows for screening of a large number of catalysts in a very short amount of time, significantly reducing the time required for catalyst development. The high-throughput screening ability has been proven in several areas of CRI/Criterion’s businesses, including chemicals and refining. High-throughput screening tools are equally, if not more, valuable in speedy deployment of biofuels and biochemicals from the lab to the market. Here we provide an overview of a program for rapid catalyst and process development to convert a mixed alcohol feed into gasoline and kerosene range hydrocarbons.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

– Refinery Synergy can reduce capital cost and fuel MSP
• Fuel MSP at estimate of 1.60$/gal (2007$)
− May further decrease based on feed selection and site requirements
− Technology comparison - IH2 Derived Fuels cost advantaged
− Typically less than U.S. bulk and rack pricing for regular/premium gasoline, evaluate upside
