CORNISH, Maine, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SpatialTEQ Inc.,
publisher of North America's
fastest growing business mapping software, today announces that a
group of researchers, from University of
Western Ontario, Canada, selected Map Business Online as a
map generation tool used to illustrate the availability of Kraft
Lignin, a renewable bio-mass by-product of industrial manufacturing
processes. Their research was recently published in the America
Chemical Society publisher ACS, at their Sustainable Chemistry
& Engineering journal. The map can be found in their research
article titled: Capacity Design of a Kraft Lignin Biorefinery for
Production of Biophenol via a Proprietary
Low-Temperature/Low-Pressure Lignin Depolymerization Process.
Co-author, Luana Dessbesell and others, write in their
publication, "Although kraft lignin is currently used mainly for
the production of bioenergy in pulp mills, 60-70% of the recovery
boilers in North America have
capacity limitations (bottleneck) which results in a surplus of
lignin. This excess of lignin is now beginning to be extracted for
the production of bio-based chemicals and materials."
The team used a Map Business Online heat map to display Kraft
lignin availability in Canada.
"The above KL supply availability and location of the mills were
considered to define the capacity scenarios." The Canadian forest
industry is seeking to diversify its portfolio of bioenergy
resources to remain competitive, as bioenergy alone is not enough
to transform the forest industry. By supplementing energy options
with low-cost innovations like the use of Kraft Lignin, everybody
gains.
