Background: This invention relates to systems and methods for the production of linear and branched-chain hydrocarbons such as triterpenes. In particular the invention relates to transgenic plants for use in the production of triterpenes as an alternative source for biofuels and petrochemicals. Technology Description: Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds and triterpenes are one type of terpenes consisting of six isoprene units and having the molecular formula C30H48. Linear branched-chain triterpenes have direct commercial value in numerous fields.

University of Nevada Reno researcher Chanwoo Park of the Mechanical Engineering Department focuses on two-phase heat transfer energy storage/conversion electronics cooling vehicle thermal management combustion and nanotechnology. Technology Summary: Porous burners have been extensively studied because of their low pollutant emissions and fuel flexibility. Current radiant porous burners are less than 25% efficient with much of the heat leaving through convection heat transfer in the form of flue gas and not being utilized.

A newly developed method for water treatment makes it possible to reduce costs of investment as well as energy consumption of conventional seawater desalination plants. The method comprises an innovative environment-friendly und energy efficient solution which is suitable for desalination as well as for process water treatment from oil or gas industry mining electroplating food industry and Zero Liquid Discharge – ZLD.

Techase has developed a Special Multi-plate Screw Press which is adaptable to deal with sludge from a variety of industries such as petro chemistry paper amyloid chemical blue-green algae pectin wastewater inorganic material and so on. For instance if the filter press is to be used to dewater sludge contaminated with blue-green algae it is fitted with special shafts for the algae and special flocculants.

Microsol helps micro producers in the food textile and paper industries with processing their raw materials by automating some of their processes e.g. drying washing pasteurization etc. or in the tertiary sector such as tourist industry by providing the energy needed for many premium services electricity for HVAC refrigeration or security heat for hot water laundry or heating water for drinking or cooking. Located in a rural village Microsol can also meet some or all of the production needs of local residents water supply electrification of communal areas and so forth.
