- Description of the technology offer :
  
  The UCA research group on “Biological and Enzymatic Reactors” (TEP-105) has developed a novel culture medium formulated specifically for the bioproduction of ethanol and hydrogen from glycerine, through the bacterial activity of the species Escherichia coli. It is a simple and attractive method in which the source of carbon employed is glycerine, obtained as a by-product in the biodiesel industry, that is available in large quantities and hence at low price.

  New and innovative aspects
  
  Exploitation of the large amounts of glycerine produced as a by-product of the production of biodiesel and similar industrial processes.
  The employment of this culture medium increases the production yield of ethanol and hydrogen, in comparison with that obtained from the use of other sources of carbon.
  The effect of optimizing the culture medium is to reduce the costs and save energy in the industrial-scale fermentation process.
  No other alternative culture media exist that have been formulated and optimized for E. coli that would allow greater production yields of ethanol to be obtained.
  It represents a simple and attractive way of producing hydrogen and ethanol from a carbon source of low price and in plentiful supply.
  The high degree of reduction of the glycerine, in comparison with sugars, allows reduced chemical compounds such as succinate, xylitol, propionate, hydrogen and others to be obtained. Read more

- Description of the technology offer :
  
  The UCA research group on “Allelopathy in Higher Plants and Microorganisms” (FQM- 286) has developed an acid hydrolysis procedure whereby precursor materials for biofuels and other high value-added products are obtained from spent grain or bagasse, the principal waste product of breweries. The content of this material in lipids and food fibre makes it an ideal product for this application. The objective is to make economic use of a low-value by-product of the brewing industry, for the production of bio-ethanol and biodiesel.

  New and innovative aspects
  
  Currently, considerable quantities of lingo-cellulosic residues are generated continuously in many sectors of the agro-food industry. If these can be suitably processed, they are of great commercial interest to industry as potential raw materials for the production of biofuels and a variety of other high value-added products.
  
  The residual biomass of the agro-food industry typically has a high content in lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and other compounds of industrial interest. The only limitations to its use as a precursor of biofuel are the economic viability of the process for obtaining these precursors and their quality.
  
  One of the byproducts of special interest for this application is spent beer grain, also known as bagasse; given the existing lack of commercial value, this bagasse is widely available as a low-cost raw material. Currently, the principal application of bagasse is as feedstuff for livestock. In general, bagasse does not represent a source of income for breweries, and the reason why it is sold is to minimize the associated problems of waste management and disposal.
  
  The UCA research group on "Allelopathy in Higher Plants and Microorganisms" (FQM- 286) has developed an acid hydrolysis procedure whereby precursor materials for biofuels and other high -value-added products are obtained from beer bagasse. Its content in lipids and food fibre (equal to or more than 5% and 20%, dry weight, respectively), make it an ideal material for this application. This would represent a more attractive commercial outlet for many of the residues resulting from operations of the agro-food industry, and in particular, for beer bagasse.
  
  The object of the process is to obtain two different products. The first is an oil consisting mainly of the fats contained in the bagasse; the second is a substance rich in sugars or molasses. The oil is of interest as raw material for the production of biodiesel by the process of transesterification; the molasses can be employed as raw material for the production of bio-ethanol by means of fermentation. Molasses can also be formulated as sugar, after a crystallization process.
  
  The oil would be particularly useful for correcting the viscosity of biodiesel, thus achieving the optimum parameters for its use as biofuel.
  
  In outline, the process developed by the research group consists of a principal line, in which a series of operations take place for the conditioning of the bagasse, such as milling, extraction of lipids and the separation of the resulting solids. Downstream, this line divides into two secondary lines: in one line, for production of oils, the solvents from the prior extraction stage are separated out; in the other secondary line, for the production of molasses, an acid hydrolysis of the sugars is carried out.
  
  Another significant feature is that the optimum operating mode of the process is continuous operation, although batch loading is also accepted. Read more

- Description of the technology offer :
  
  A scalable and multifaceted energy and fuels processing technology providing for conversion of diverse low-value biomass, by products and wastes to higher value energy products has been invented, patented and developed. The technology is highly adaptive and the processes available are high yielding.
  
  An industrial, SME, larger company, or institutional or academic partner is sought for pursuing the joint venture development of various applications of this universal cleaner energy technology, and follow on commercialization. The subject technology is also available for licensing and/or joint development and commercialization outside the U.S.A.
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  Low value biomass is readily available from the many non-edible fractions of various food crops and this resource is widely produced at large scale, and is often found to be locally available and often extremely cheap as it is a by-product that does not require any additional planting, cultivation, harvesting, fertilizer or chemicals for weed and pest control. Thus it is simply a byproduct that is available for conversion along with dedicated fuel crops and municipal wastes to higher value products and is well suited for cleaner low cost sustainable energy production on the farm and/or in nearby communities.

  The offered catalyst has the advantage of being easily prepared and of being one of the most active and stable reported to date. Hydrogenation of aromatics can be operated under mild conditions and under solvent free conditions, thereby rendering the process more sustainable and easy to implement. The catalyst can also be recycled at least 10 times without significant loss of activity, which makes it attractive for continuous flow applications. Read more

  GENERAL DESCRIPTION
  
  • Integrated semiconductor gas sensors are manufactured using standard microelectronic technology and silicon micromachining techniques.
  
  • The measurement of specific oxidizing or reducing gases is based on reversible conductivity change of the sensing element.
  
  • The batch fabrication process of miniaturized gas sensors presents the advantages of low cost, reproducibility, small size and low power consumption.
  
  • The package and the mode of operation illustrated in this document target the detection of reducing gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), ethanol, and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
  
  • The MSGS-3000 structure consists of a thin-film, doped tin-oxide (SnO2) layer over an embedded heater layer. This integrated heater allows toraise the sensitive layer temperature which is necessary in order that Chemisorption /Reaction mechanisms occur. These mechanisms change the sensitive layer resistance by reversible electron charge transfer from surface states to the conduction band.
