Yuanhui Zhang ... is a bio-environmental engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
Zhang's big breakthrough is that he's designed a more efficient process: a continuous reactor. Instead of converting hog waste one batch at a time, Zhang's lab, which is funded in part by the Illinois Pork Producers Association, has developed a method to feed waste continuously into a reactor, which is essentially an industrial-strength pressurized oven. And, Zhang boasts, "We don't even need pre-drying."
Zhang predicts the process could get 3.6 gallons of crude oil a day out of each pig. Illinois brings some 7.2 million hogs to market each year and the nationwide industry is about 100-million hogs strong.
Помните у Райкина: "Сто тысяч человек да на один рубль ... Это будет ... это будут сумасшедшие деньги!"
