NOVELTY - Growing concern about the adverse effects of indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers on soil productivity and environmental quality has made the world to look in for better biofertilizers. Biofertilizers form not only part of integrated nutrients but are of low-cost which is of immense help to the farming community. Cyanobacteria offer an economically attractive and ecologically sound alternative to chemical fertilizers for realizing the ultimate goal of increased productivity. Application of cyanobacteria as biofertilizers requires an efficient carrier on which cyanobacteria should be able to grow luxuriantly and it should have maximum water holding capacity. Coir pith, an agro-industrial waste dumped in tones every year in India, is capable of holding water up to 10 times its dry weight. Phormidium sp. BDU5 grows luxuriantly on coir pith and utilizes the moisture content on coir pith for growth. The lignolytic activity of Phormidium sp. BDU5, 22% degradation within 30 days, enables it penetrate the coir pity thus making the transport to the field easier after drying. Rejuvenation being cyanobacterial biofertilizer comes in contact with water. The growth promoting ability of Phormidium sp. BDU5 was present both in the basal application and foliar which was substantiated by our field study in Vigna radiata and Coriandrum sativum. Image 0/0

NOVELTY - A low toxicity fuel for four-stroke engines, comprises ethanol (80-99%) and volatile hydrocarbon fractions (1-20%) that are soluble in ethanol.    USE - As a fuel for four-stroke engines (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The fuel is a low toxicity fuel for four-stroke engines, particularly, for high performance competition engines. The ethanol and volatile hydrocarbon fractions are blended for high octane and low toxicity. The unburned fuel in the exhaust is non-toxic and biodegradable; and is renewable bio-fuel. The volatile hydrocarbon fractions are selected for volatility, flame rate, octane rating and low toxicity. The reduced combustion temperature reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The fuel has a higher octane rating than gasoline fuels currently mandated in various forms of motor sport, this can permit the use of increased compression ratios leading to improved efficiency. The four-stroke emissions are low in particulates. The ethanol has high latent heat of evaporation that creates a significant reduction of the charge temperature compared with gasoline, which helps to reduce peak temperatures and NOx formation and to increase power output. The lower charge temperature reduces the temperature of the piston and cylinder bore, improving engine durability: this is particularly useful on air-cooled engines. The components and additives of the fuel minimize the toxic risks associated with fuel handling, and minimize the toxicity of the exhaust emissions. The fuel provides the advantage of the low cost carburettor.

NOVELTY - A biodiesel manufacturing process involves transforming crude glycerin into useful primary or secondary fuel by adding an accelerant to promote combustion by lowering the flashpoint. The accelerant is an alcohol (preferably methanol or ethanol).    USE - In manufacture of biodiesel during which the waste product (e.g. crude glycerin, glycerol, glycerides and fatty acids) that is generated is used as primary or secondary fuel (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The fuel (either 100% crude glycerin or a mixture of glycerin and alcohol) is filtered to keep parts within the burner from plugging. All legal or governmental provisions or regulations, including taxation, identification (dying), storage, environmental or transportation restrictions, are met in order for the crude glycerin to be used or classified as a fuel. Immediately prior to entering the burner, both the processed crude glycerin and the combustion air are brought to a temperature just below the boiling point of the alcohol (145degreesF in case of methanol). This brings the fuel as close to its flash point and improves fuel atomization. The fuel pressure is raised along with higher-pressure combustion air to improve atomization and provide an improved burn with lower emissions. The crude glycerine that is processed into fuel has very low sulfur content, ash content and a relatively high BTU content as tested by any end user or governmental entity prior to the use of the crude glycerin as a fuel. Proper consulting or technical services are required for determination of applicability of equipment, and training or determination of parameters to burn the crude glycerin, to protect equipment from its inherent high pH level.
