    Inventor: Gary F. Seymour
  • Commercial production of synthetic fuel from fermentation by-products system
    Patent number: 7244771
    Abstract: A commercial production of synthetic fuel from fermentation by-products system for efficiently producing synthetic fuels and other usable by-products. The major volatile by product of most fermentation processes is carbon dioxide. The commercial production of synthetic fuel from fermentation by-products system generally includes commercial production of synthetic fuel from fermentation by-products system for producing synthetic fuels and other usable by-products. The composition includes providing wind and/or solar generated energy to a electrolysis unit, providing water to the electrolysis unit, separating the water within the electrolysis unit into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, supplying the hydrogen gas and the oxygen gas to a turbine, sending the hydrogen gas, heated carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to a Fischer-Tropsch reactor, producing ethanol and methanol within the Fischer-Tropsch reactor and collecting the mixture of ethanol and methanol.

  • Removal of gum and chlorophyll-type compounds from vegetable oils
    Patent number: 6376689
    Abstract: A single-step acid degumming/decolorizing process removes chlorophyll-type compounds from vegetable oils from seeds, especially frost damaged seeds which have large amounts of chlorophyll-type compounds. A mixture of aqueous sulfuric and phosphoric acids is blended with the oil to remove chlorophyll-type compounds from the oil. The purified oil has less than about 5 ppm chlorophyll-type compounds, less than about 50 ppm phosphorus and less than about 1.0 weight percent free fatty acids.

  • Process for removing vegetable oil waxes by fast cooling vegetable oil and using a porous non-metallic inorganic filter
    Patent number: 5482633
    Abstract: This invention provides for the separation of higher melting glycerides from vegetable oils. After the vegetable oil is refined and bleached, it is rapidly cooled to provide a blend that contains the vegetable oil and wax particulate; the blend then is filtered through a nonmetallic inorganic filter to remove the wax particulate from the vegetable oil such that the permeate oil has less than about 10 ppm oil at about 65.degree.
