Comparison of extraction techniques for product diversification in a supercritical water gasification-based sugarcane-wet microalgae biorefinery: Thermoeconomic and environmental analysis

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

This study presents a thermoeconomic and environmental assessment of the extraction of lipids and proteins from wet microalgal biomass in a 3G biorefinery by two different technologies: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and low-pressure solvent extracti ...

A Framework Based on Predictive Maintenance, Zero-Defect Manufacturing and Scheduling Under Uncertainty Tools, to Optimize Production Capacities of High-End Quality Products

Dimitrios Kyritsis

Nowadays exploiting the full potential of the humongous amount of data that manufactures can produce with their production means is a real challenge. Moreover, increasing production capabilities without large investments is a recurring objective for them. ...

An assessment of how well we account for intangibles

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Estimates of intangible capital stock are of prime importance for accurate measurement of productivity growth. Aggregate intangible capital stock is usually estimated using the so-called Corrado-Hulten-Sichel (CHS) new growth accounting framework. Yet this ...

Thermo-economic and environmental comparison of supercritical water and enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse in a biorefinery concept

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas

In this study, we discuss the difference regarding thermo-economic and environmental (water intake) aspects between two methods of biomass hydrolysis. A thermo-economic model was developed using Aspen Plus® and MATLAB software in order to analyze the energ ...

Thermo-economic optimization of an ORC driven heat pump based on small scale turbomachinery and comparison with absorption heat pumps

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Violette Mounier

The current paper presents the thermo-economic optimization and comparison, through a multi-objective algorithm, between HP-ORC and the competing single effect absorption heat pump (SEAHP), with the aim to find the best trade-off between investment cost an ...

Capital goods, measured TFP and growth: The case of Spain

Luis Franjo Garcia

The effect of investing in equipment and/or structures on TFP and long run growth is investigated here. We argue that economies can grow in spite of stagnant TFP if the investment rate is inefficiently high. We study the case of Spain where real GDP per wo ...
