Described herein is a method of remediating a water source of a target aquatic life. The method comprises collecting at least one target species of aquatic life from a water source, separating an oil from the solids of the target aquatic life, and refining a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) mixture from the oil. The water source is at least partially remediated by collecting the at least one target species of aquatic life from the water source.

The present invention relates to a process for the conversion of a feedstock comprising at least 50 wt % related to the total weight of the feedstock of triglycerides, fatty acid esters and/or fatty acids having at least 10 carbon atoms into hydrogen, olefins, dienes, aromatics, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, naphtha and liquefied petroleum gas comprising: a) introducing of said feedstock in a first reactor to produce linear paraffins in presence of a hydrodesulfurization catalyst and hydrogen, b) separating the effluent of said first reactor in at least three parts to produce at least a first stream comprising part of said linear paraffins and at least a second stream comprising part of said linear paraffins, and at least a third stream comprising part of said linear paraffins c) sending said first stream to a steam cracker to produce hydrogen, olefins, dienes, aromatics and gasoline, diesel fuel being further fractionated; d) introducing said second stream into a second reactor in presence of a hydrocracking or hydroisomerization catalyst to produce a mixture comprising diesel fuel, jet fuel, naphtha and liquefied petroleum gas being further fractionated e) blending said third stream with the diesel fuel obtained at said step d)
wherein said feedstock of said first reactor is diluted in order to limit the temperature increase within said first reactor; and wherein before entering the first reactor said dilution is performed with a weight ratio diluent:feedstock being 1:1, and wherein said diluent comprises at least part of said paraffins obtained at step b).

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of nut-derived fruit oil preparation, in particular to a method for extracting palmitoleic acid from Macadamia integrifolia and use thereof. In the method for extracting palmitoleic acid from Macadamia integrifolia, a fruit oil of the Macadamia integrifolia is purified by vacuum distillation, and an antioxidant is added during the vacuum distillation. A preparation method of the antioxidant includes the following steps: extracting a pulverized Macadamia integrifolia green peel using ethanol by heat reflux to obtain a green peel extract; extracting the green peel extract using petroleum ether, and then using ethyl acetate; collecting an ethyl acetate layer to obtain the antioxidant. The method can avoid easy oxidization and deterioration of oil during extracting and enriching the palmitoleic acid, and can enrich the palmitoleic acid in the fruit oil of the Macadamia integrifolia by not less than 3 times.

The present disclosure is related to an apparatus and method for purification of biological feedstock, such as reducing or removing nitrogen containing compounds therein. The method can include subjecting the feedstock to a first separation step for obtaining a first fraction containing free fatty acids and nitrogen containing compounds, and collecting the residue containing acylglycerols. The first fraction is reacted with glycerol to obtain acylglycerols from the free fatty acid therein. This fraction is subjected to a second separation step for obtaining a second fraction containing nitrogen containing compounds, which is discharged as waste-product. The remains from the second separation contain formed acylglycerols and are collected.

An improved dry grind system and method for producing a sugar stream from grains or similar carbohydrate sources and/or residues, such as for biochemical production, with front end oil separation. Prior to or after saccharification, oil can be removed from a sugar/carbohydrate stream. After saccharification and prior to a sugar conversion process, the sugar/carbohydrate stream includes a desired Dextrose Equivalent (DE) where DE describes the degree of conversion of starch to dextrose can be produced, with such sugar stream being available for biochemical production, e.g., alcohol production, or other processes. In addition, the systems and methods also can involve the removal of certain grain components, e.g., corn kernel components, including protein and/or fiber. In other words, oil separation and sugar stream production occurs on the front end of the system and method.
