Energy potential of household fats, oils and grease waste

چکیده

Abstract In comparison to fats, oils and grease (FOG) found in commercial industrial effluents, very little is known about FOG discharged at household level. To address this shortcoming, production was calculated following a year‐long monthly collection 2.3 kg/year per household, equivalent 0.8 capita. the United Kingdom, these numbers translate an annual estimated of 62 380 tonnes. Physico‐chemical characterization showed promising results for biodiesel production. Biomethane yield measured 875 mL CH4/g VSadded, twice as much that sewage sludge, making it desirable substrate anaerobic digestion. It thus energy recovery from through co‐digestion or could generate 490 GWh/year Kingdom. However, insights participants revealed most waste currently not recovered, requiring development schemes fitting with households' routine maximize rates.

Probe and Sensors Development for Level Measurement of Fats, Oils and Grease in Grease Boxes

The wide spread of food outlets has become an environmental and sanitation infrastructure problem, due to Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG). A grease box is used at the industrials facilities to collect the FOG, in a specific time window, while its quality is good for recycling (e.g., biodiesel) and it is economically valuable. After this period, it will be disposed at a cost. For the proper manageme...

Autoxidation of Fats and Oils

Products that contain fats and oils turn rancid and deteriorate in other ways when they arc exposed to air. The action^ known as autoxidation, imparts disagreeable flavors and odors to fats and foods containing them. For a long time baffled investigators spent a vast amount of effort trying to find ways to prevent autoxidation. Specifically, the basic problem was the mechanism of autoxidation—h...

Polymorphism in Fats and Oils

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major components of fats and oils and biologically important organic molecules along with proteins and carbohydrates. In industrial applications, TAGs are the main components in cream, margarine, and confectionery fats in foods and as matrix materials in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The physical behavior of TAGs influences the physical properties of fat-based p...

Urban Demand for Edible Oils and Fats in China: Evidence from Household Survey Data

Using urban household-level survey data from 1992 to 1998, we provide estimates of final demand for edible vegetable oils and animal fats in three regions of China based on the LinQuad incomplete demand system. For each region, the demand for the major “staple” oil is price inelastic. The demand for “condiment” or flavoring oils is more price responsive. All edible oils and fats have positive i...
