has gloss | eng: Manure-derived synthetic crude oil is a synthetic crude oil chemically engineered (converted) from animal or human manure. Research into the production of manure-derived synthetic crude oil began with pig manure in 1996 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by the research team led by professors Yuanhui Zhang and Lance Schideman. They developed a method for converting raw pig manure into a form of crude oil through thermal depolymerization (thermochemical conversion). This process uses a thermochemical conversion reactor to apply heat and pressure for breaking down carbohydrate materials. As a result, crude oil, methane and carbon dioxide are produced. |
