Siemens' Expert Technology Ensures State-Of-The-Art, Real-World Training For Students At The National Corn-To-Ethanol Research Center

2016-02-26 15:27:15| chemicalonline Downloads

While there is a growing demand for new workers in the alternative fuels industry there is a lack of qualified people to run the facilities. The catalyst for growth is the US Energy Independence and Security Act (HR6) of 2007, which calls for the production of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022.The National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center (NCERC) at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is the only organization in the world to offer both classroom training in biofuels and hands-on instruction. The centerpiece of the training is a Simatic PCS 7 distributed control system donated by Siemens. “We wanted a state-of-the-art control system that was representative of the industry,” said Steve Ward, research engineer. “The biggest thing I was looking for was better support. Now we never have any trouble getting help when we need it.”

JatroDiesel Raises The Bar On Biofuels With Siemens

2016-02-26 15:23:14| chemicalonline Downloads

What's in Your Tank? An increasing amount of the diesel that fuels the world's cars, buses, trucks, tankers, trains, and ships is grown on the farm. And while most truckers wouldn't say, 'Filler up with chicken fat,' that's exactly what is going into the gas tanks of many 18-wheelers crisscrossing the country. Soy beans, chicken and bacon fat, and beef tallow are all playing a key role in weaning America from its dependence on oil. JatroDiesel is an emerging leader in turning this unheralded feedstock into high quality biodiesel across the U.S. and beyond - both as an equipment manufacturer and the owner/operator of new age refineries. "We started out strictly as an equipment-maker in the biodiesel market, which gave us incredible insight into what works and what doesn't using various feedstock. We quickly learned, firsthand, how to design and build the most productive and efficient biodiesel plants," explained Raj Mosali, JatroDiesel's president and CEO, who became interested in the idea of biodiesel production when after reading about alternative fuel in early 2004.
