Abstract Biomass is often referred to as a carbon–neutral energy source, and it has role in reducing fossil fuel depletion. In addition, biomass can be converted efficiently into various forms of biofuels. The conversion processes involve several thermochemical, biochemical, hydrothermal methods for treatment integration. most common routes produce biofuels include pyrolysis gasification proces...

The UK Water Industry currently generates approximately 800 GWh pa of electrical energy from sewage sludge, a renewable by-product from wastewater treatment. Advanced anaerobic digestion processes are beginning to improve energy yields from this resource which the industry has in abundance. These processes are being implemented across the UK and within Thames Water. However, these processes are...

Nowadays, membrane processes are widely used for high purity Nitrogen production. Separation of air by membranes is a flexible process in which the investment and operational costs are lower than for example adsorption or cryogenic processes. Such processes are based on relative permeability of air components which are transported by the pressure difference between two sides of the membrane. M...

The paper summarizes an experience of building business process support systems and introducing them into operational practice acquired over some period of time. The systems were built based on the state-oriented view on business processes. The paper describes and explains difficulties of marketing such systems and introducing them in the operational practice, as well as how these difficulties ...
