@eeisdorferNU @MyraA_Biochar @NU_ChemE @alexC_Biochar @RachelD_Biochar Based on our research, we found that the Aspen simulation was sufficient to obtain the data we needed for completing the project. The reactor data was found in literature and the Aspen simulation was used for energy and costs.

@emendoza_CHME @MyraA_Biochar @NU_ChemE @alexC_Biochar @RachelD_Biochar There are other competitors producing biochar but not at the same production level. The cotton waste is currently used for low-value products such as animal feed. Our plan would be environmentally friendly and improve the value of the waste from cotton farms and gins.

@emendoza_CHME @MyraA_Biochar @NU_ChemE @alexC_Biochar @RachelD_Biochar Thanks for the question Eduardo! The simulation is currently completely functional, with the reactor being used as a dummy block because modeling pyrolysis is not feasible for this project.

@JenLi67269204 @NU_ChemE Great poster! What was the most difficult aspect of your process to model in SuperPro?

@ELAIAENTERPRIS1 Nice project and poster! For your experiment, was the percent of yeast collected by the filters measured as a mass balance? Also do you expect to have to replace the filters often for full-scale production?

@MattWitkowsky @NU_ChemE @BrendanWhalen14 @DerkNasty_ @swolerito @MarcZoleta Great job! I also appreciate the high quality memes. You have a lot of savings in waste disposal and buffer costs. Were these savings in every portion of your design compared to batch? Or was one unit op especially better than batch?

Hi everyone! CHARming Industries (team 17) here, with a poster describing our biochar production plant. Our plant helps farmers and ginners turn cotton trash into a soil amendment to recycle carbon and reuse waste! @NU_ChemE #CHME4703Poster
