Engineering feedstock supply systems that deliver affordable, high-quality biomass remains a challenge for the emerging bioenergy industry. Cellulosic biomass is geographically distributed and has diverse physical and chemical properties. Because of this feedstock supply systems that deliver cellulosic biomass resources to biorefineries require integration of a broad set of engineered unit operations. These unit operations include harvest and collection, storage, preprocessing, and transportation processes. Design decisions for each feedstock supply system unit operation impact the engineering design and performance of the other system elements. These interdependencies are further complicated by spatial and temporal variances such as climate conditions and biomass characteristics. This paper develops an integrated model that couples a SQL-based data management engine and systems dynamics models to design and evaluate biomass feedstock supply systems. The integrated model, called the Biomass Logistics Model (BLM), includes a suite of databases that provide 1) engineering performance data for hundreds of equipment systems, 2) spatially explicit labor cost datasets, and 3) local tax and regulation data. The BLM analytic engine is built in the systems dynamics software package Powersim™. The BLM is designed to work with thermochemical and biochemical based biofuel conversion platforms and accommodates a range of cellulosic biomass types (i.e., herbaceous residues, short-rotation woody and herbaceous energy crops, woody residues, algae, etc.). The BLM simulates the flow of biomass through the entire supply chain, tracking changes in feedstock characteristics (i.e., moisture content, dry matter, ash content, and dry bulk density) as influenced by the various operations in the supply chain. By accounting for all of the equipment that comes into contact with biomass from the point of harvest to the throat of the conversion facility and the change in characteristics, the BLM evaluates economic performance of the engineered system, as well as determining energy consumption and green house gas performance of the design. This paper presents a BLM case study delivering corn stover to produce cellulosic ethanol. The case study utilizes the BLM to model the performance of several feedstock supply system designs. The case study also explores the impact of temporal variations in climate conditions to test the sensitivity of the engineering designs. Results from the case study show that under certain conditions corn stover can be delivered to the cellulosic ethanol biorefinery for $35/dry ton.

Abstract Tofu contains various substances that are very good when consumed to improve people’s nutrition. In addition, tofu also has good taste. The problem is that the tofu production process produces products and non-product outputs in the form of waste that is very dangerous if directly disposed of in the environment. The BOD5 content of tofu small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sugihmanik Village ranged from 3,667-4,933 mg/L and COD 7,668-9,736 mg/L. At the same time, the TSS values ranged from 701-1,189 mg/L. The BOD5 value in the river water content is 367 mg/L. It greatly exceeds the set Threshold Value. This study aims to measure the environmental impact using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA can identify the impact of each activity based on the impact category to identify the processes that contribute significantly to damaging the environment. This study found that the cooking and frying process had the highest impact, where the climate change category was the largest. Wastewater treatment plants, biogas from the biodigester as a substitute for electricity for water pumps, rice husks, and corn cobs are expected to reduce environmental impacts.

The aim of this research is to reduce a number of defects during a feed pellet production process to improve customer satisfaction. A factory case study produces the feed pellets for several species such as food for pigs, chickens, and ducks. Production data from January to June 2017 manufacturing found that the manufacturing defects rate were about 3.32%. The data showed that the overall defects originated from different problems; 1) cracked or broken food; 2) high humidity; 3) distorted of product color; and 4) an ingredient error, respectively. Statistical methods, design analysis, and cause analysis techniques e.g. the Ishikawa diagram, Pareto chart, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) were applied to help the factory to identify the main root cause of the defects and the potential failure modes of the factory case study. Due to an increasing number of complaints, this study only concentrated on the duck feed pellet production process. The study was divided into two parts: finding the root cause of the defects, which are the most critical factors for further analysis, and applying an experimental statistical design to decrease the number of defects during the duck pellet production process. The problem with cracked or broken pellets (dust) was found as the main factor affecting the production defects. Results showed that the main factors contributing to the amount of dusk in the duck feed productions came from three factors as follow: the thickness of die, distance between compression rollers and die, and time and temperature of mill machine needed during compressing the duck feed pellet production. Both the fractional factorial experimental design, 2k and 3k, were used to evaluate the influence of each factor on the duck feed production defects. The results by using the factorial 2K experimental show that the most important variable in duck pellets production were thickness of the die, distance between compression rollers and die, and temperature of mill machine needed during compressing the duck feed pellet production while time was not an interaction effect in this problem. The 3k factorial design was used to determine the interaction effects for the duck pellets production process. The experiment was ran and tested for 3 months. The final outcomes showed a significant reduction of defects from 2.51% to 1.09% (P<0.01). The results indicated that thickness -20 mm. of the die, 0.05 mm of distance between compression rollers and die, and 95 degree Celsius of temperature of mill machine needed during compressing the duck feed pellet production would be the most appropriate set of pelleting machine for the duck production process case study.
