Biomass to Chemicals

                            
  • Biomass is a term related to any organic matter and the two most types of are wood and crops e.g. wheat, maize and rice. Another very important type of biomass is waste e.g. food waste, manure, etc.
  • Two classification for producing chemicals from biomass , they are fermentation and thermal chemical conversion.
  • Biomass-related chemical products typically fall into three general categories: biobased acids, biobased oils, and specialty chemicals.
  • The use of woody biomass to produce specific chemicals will become a more economically attractive solution.

Fenders




  • Generally fender main objectives is to protect the ships hull from damage and it is used to absorb the kinetic energy of a boat or vessel berthing against a jetty, quay wall or other vessel.
  • It is the interface between a ship and the shore facilities.
  • Raw material of fender is rubber.
  • There are two types of fenders first one is ship to quay, and another one is ship-to-ship.
  • Properties of rubber fenders are energy absorption, hull pressure and reaction force and the elasticity of air to absorb energy.
