Scientific research is all about giving sources of sustainable development towards the happy living. The life that consists of sufficient resources to grow and live. The idea is pretty much clear to give humans better way of living.
Now scientists have found a way which will successfully convert the normal sewage into the useful bio-crude oil. You might need to read it again but that is true and scientists have made it possible.
Thanks to new research at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). “There is plenty of carbon in municipal waste water sludge and interestingly, there are also fats,” said one of the researchers Corinne Drennan, who is responsible for bioenergy technologies research at PNNL, at Richland, in Washington.
“The fats or lipids appear to facilitate the conversion of other materials in the wastewater such as toilet paper, keep the sludge moving through the reactor, and produce a very high-quality crude that, when refined, yields fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuels,” Drennan noted in an official statement.
The process is carried with high temperature and pressure to build something for which earth takes millions of years. So far sewage has been treated as a poor component for producing biofuel because of its being too wet.
Using hydrothermal liquefaction, organic matter such as human waste can be broken down into simpler chemical compounds. The material is pressurised to 3,000 pounds per square inch — nearly one hundred times that of a car tire. Pressurised sludge then goes into a reactor system operating at about 660 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat and pressure cause the cells of the waste material to break down into different fractions — crude and an aqueous liquid phase, the researchers explained.
