Pallmann joins forces with Standard Bio to develop new biorefinery concept using timber waste

Zweibrücken, Germany (19 May 2015) - PALLMANN Group, one of the world's largest manufacturers of innovative size reduction technology, is joining forces with Standard Bio, an expert in novel biomass conversion technologies, to develop a new biorefinery concept that will use low-value organic waste as a resource for clean energy, natural fertilizers and animal protein.
The concept is based around the conversion of renewable resources - in the first case trees from cultivated forests, although it can also be applied to other types of biomass - into solid briquettes for energy generation, as well as natural oil. At its heart is a patented high-pressure wood press and drying machine developed by Pallmann and Standard Bio, capable of producing 500 m3 of compressed wood per day, along with 50 160-L barrels of natural oil. Pallmann will develop and build various key pieces of equipment to reduce the dried wood to particulate sizes that can then be converted into the briquettes.
Briquettes will be produced either by mixing dried wood chips with a small amount of tree oil and then compacting it to form bio-briquettes (also known as HerbBalls) of by pyrolysing the sawdust and then forming charcoal briquettes. Some of the output can also be combined with other natural resources rich in nitrogen to produce fertilizer and animal feed.
The two companies recently signed a technical and sales cooperation agreement, under which they first plan to set up a demonstration plant in an area of forest in Norway that will use wood surplus to the requirement of timber processing operations in the region who produce materials for the building and construction industry. This plant should be operational later this year. Medium-term goal is to provide technology and equipment packages for customers around the world.
Standard Bio already operates a pilot press that can squeeze water and natural oils out of wood in before they are reduced to chips. This eliminates the need to expend energy on drying wet chips, and also provides a valuable resource in the form of tree oil that can be used as a feedstock in various other processes.
"We are developing technology for converting environmental waste and misplaced resources into commodities with high added value that can be sold around the world," says Ove Lerdahl, CEO at Standard Bio. "The technology represents a highly cost-effective and sustainable means of producing clean energy from renewable resources that has no need for government subsidies to be successful."
Standard Bio is a small company set up in 2014 as a spin-off from AgroPlas AS in Oslo, Norway. Using proprietary technology, Agroplas delivers innovative solutions that improve the efficiency of existing production processes and create new value streams from waste. Standard Bio's aim is to make biomass a competitive raw material for biorefining into proteins, chemicals, materials, fuels and energy.
"We are now small-scale, but growing fast," says Mr Ove Lerdahl. "There is a large global market with solid growth potential tied to wood-based biomass. We have a particularly innovate biomass drying and pretreatment technology that Pallmann is helping us bring to a commercial reality. We have world class robust machine construction, delivery and servicing logistics."
"The demonstration plant soon to be established in a forest around 100 km south-west of Oslo in Norway will be used to prove the Bio Standard process for creating a new renewable carbon feedstock for coal-fired utilities, for organic soil improvement (Vermicompost) - and for the production of protein. We are also building a distillation unit for cold extraction of tree oil as a complementary process."
Vermicompost is a highly valuable completely natural commodity that has several advantages over traditional fertilizer, particularly in arid areas or in localities where soil erosion and soil pollution are problems. It is the result of worms creating a heterogeneous mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and worm casts.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
