MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.

via the gasification of biomass waste—into methane. Feedstocks can include more durable material such as woody biomass and wastes that are not broken down in traditional anaerobic digester plants. Unlike biomethane produced by anaerobic digestion, Bio-SNG is formed by the conversion of thermally-derived syngas—i.e.,

These fermentation processes create carbon as a byproduct, with some processes wasting more than 1/3 of this carbon as CO 2 emissions. The LT team will develop a gas fermentation process that leverages affordable, renewable hydrogen to capture and fix CO 2 directly into valuable fuels and chemicals. INvizyne Technologies, Inc.

Building the heater

Honda S2000 EV Conversion

I first built a water heater utilizing the existing heater core. It used a 1500 watt engine block heater and pump to circulate the water. First and least important was the noise I could hear from the pump circulating the water. Here is a side-by-side of the water and electric heater cores.
