Recently, due to the high rise of energy costs and environmental problem issues, much attention has been paid to wood pellets. Wood pellets are produced by compressing woody biomass into cylindrical form. Wood pellets are suitable for use at various scales in industrial furnaces for heat production to replace conventional fossil fuel energy sources since the use of wood pellet that is carbon neutral can alleviate global warming. This study presents the result of developing two industrial wood pellet boilers with high safety having capacities of 290kW and 440kW. Efficiency has been improved by using a rotating screw bar grate burner. Special attention has been paid to the improvement of the safety of the wood pellet boilers from backfire by adopting a triple protecting system composed of a rotary feeder, an air curtain, and a backfire protecting DC-fan.

양파의 직파재배를 정착시켜 국제경쟁력을 제고 시키기 위한 기초연구의 일환으로 양파종자에 pellet 처리하는 방법을 개발하고, pellet종자의 제 특성을 조사하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) Pellet 종자의 모양형성은 일차적으로 pellet물질의 종류에 따라 좌우되며 kaolin, clay, ash,석고 등은 모양형성이 잘 되었으며, bentonite와 diatomite는 모양형성은 되지만 pellet 종자의 표면이 매끄럽지 않았으며, clay는 모양형성은 잘되지만 건조하는 과정에서 pellet종자의 표면에 균열이 발생하였다. PG를 polymer로 PVS(8%)를 binder로 하여 pellet한 종자는 모양 형성, 경도 등에서 가장 적합하였다. 2) Pellet종자의 경도는 polymer종류, binder의 종류와 농도의 영향을 받는데 그 정도는 polymer에서 더 컸다. pellet물질 중 경도가 높았던 것은 gysum, coal ash 등이었으며, 생석회는 경도가 가장 낮았다. 3) PG로 pellet한 종자의 기내 발아율과 출아율은 각각 93.6, 91.8%로 pellet 물질 중 가장 높았고, 출아율은 처리온도 20, $25^{\circ}C$에서 비슷하였다. 토양 수분함량별 출아율은 각각 91% 이상으로 토양 수분함량간 큰 차이는 없었다. 종자의 크기별 평균 출아율은 pellet종자 입경 5와 6mm에서 각각 92.0%로 가장 높았다. 파종심도별 출아율은 파종심도 10mm에서 92.7%로 가장 높았으며 파종심도가 점차 깊어질수록 낮아졌다. 토양수분함량별 평균 출아소요시간은 토양수분함량 70%에서 158시간으로 대조구 138시간에 비해 20시간이 지연되었다.

흰굳음병균(B. bassiana)을 이용하여 효과적인 진균살충제 개발을 위해, 진균의 대량배양 체계에서 가장 중요한 고체배지를 저가의 농가부산물인 밀기울을 이용하여 조제하고, 고체배지의 물성, 수분, 온도 조건, 고체배지의 형태 및 크기에 따른 B. bassiana 포자의 성장을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 고체배지는 powder 형보다 pellet 형이 포자의 성장에 효과적이었으며, 고형제가 첨가된 P-II 배지보다는 첨가되지 않은 P-I 배지가 효율적이었다. 또 수분 요구량은 배지 : 물 (W/V)의 비율이 4:2 조건 이상, 온도조건은 2$0^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$에서 높은 성장율을 보여주었다. 그리고 고체 배지의 형태에 따른 포자의 생산성은 S형 P-I 고체배지 (직경 3mm)에서 효과적이었다. 이상의 결과, S형 P-I 고체배지는 흰굳음병균 포자의 대량배양에 경제적이고, 효율적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The influences of impeller types on morphology and protein expression were investigated in a submerged culture of Aspergillus oryzae. The impeller types strongly affected mycelial morphology and protein production in batch and fed-batch fermentations. Cells that were cultured by propeller agitation grew in the form of a pellet, whereas cells that were cultured by turbine agitation grew in a freely dispersed-hyphal manner and in a clumped form. Pellet-grown cells showed high levels of protein production for both the intracellularly heterologous protein (${\beta}$-glucuronidase) and the extracellularly homologous protein (${\alpha}$-amylase). The feeding mode of the carbon source also influenced the morphological distribution and protein expression in fed-batch fermentation of A. oryzae. Pulsed-feeding mainly showed high protein expression and homogeneous distribution of pellet whereas continuous feeding resulted in less protein expression and heterogeneous distribution with pellet and dispersed-hyphae. The pellet growth with propeller agitation paralleling with the pulsed-feeding of carbon source showed a high level of protein production in the submerged fed-batch fermentation of recombinant A. oryzae.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of agitation, aeration and scale-up on the mycelial growth, exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production, and mycelial morphology in the liquid culture of Ganoderma lucidum. A correlation between roughness and operating variables was also studied to scale-up the liquid culture of G. lucidum in a jar fermenter. When the agitation speed or aeration rate increased, the morphological form was changed from rough pellet to smooth pellet form. Increase of the agitation and aeration reduced the mycelial roughness. On the other hand, in the case of pellet size, it was not affected by aeration. The higher EPS production was obtained at approximately 17% of roughness and mycelial pellet size of 3~5 mm. The morphology at each fermenter was closely correlated with kLa value, and it was found that similarity of morphology would be used as a criteria of scale-up for liquid culture of G. lucidum.

This study investigates compressive strength of ice pellet strip which is potential medium for Natural Gas Hydrate(NGH) extruded from die holes of Twin-roll Press for Continuous Pelletizing(TPCP). Recently, the prototype of TPCP is newly developed where ice powder is continuously fed and extruded into strip-type pellet between twin rolls. The system is specifically designed for future expansion towards mass-production of ice pellet strips or solid form of natural gas hydrate. It is shown that the compressive strength of pellet strip heavily depends on factors in extrusion process such as disk size, surface smoothness, ring size, taper shape, feeding mechanism, and rotational speed. Here, the mechanism of TPCP, along with compressive strength of pellets is discussed in terms of its feasibility for producing NGH pellets in the future.

Purpose: Drying characteristics of sawdust was studied under batch mode using lab scale microwave dryer. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of material load and microwave output power on drying characteristics of sawdust. Methods: Material load and microwave output power were varied from 23 to 186 g and 530 to 370 W respectively. Different kinetic models were tested to fit the drying rates of sawdust. Similarly, the activation energy was calculated by employing the Arrhenius equation. Results: The drying efficiency increased considerably, whereas the specific energy consumption significantly decreased with increase in material load and microwave output power. The cumulative energy efficiency increased by 9%, and the specific energy consumption decreased by 8% when the material load was increased from 23 to 186 g. The effective diffusivity increased with decrease in material load and increase in microwave output power. The previously published model gave the best fit for data points with $R^2$ and RMSE values of 0.999 and 0.01, respectively. Conclusions: The data obtained from this study could be used as a basis for modeling of large scale industrial microwave dryers for the pellet production.
