    Abstract: This study allowed us to achieve the optimal yield for the extraction of Jatropha Curcas oil from the main operating variables of an industrial press. We used an industrial bar press with a large extraction capacity to carry out this work. Two interesting and indicative parameters on the influence of the efficiency of the press have been analyzed, ... Show More

    Abstract: The use of black soldier flies (BSF) for biofuel production and fish feeding is nowadays presented as an ecological alternative. Several biomasses have been used to nurture BSF, however Jatropha curcas pressed cake obtained from biofuel production using jatropha seeds is a nutrient-rich biomass that has not yet been fully used as feed for BSF, prob...

    Abstract: A solar concentrator is a technology that converts direct solar radiation into heat. The parabolic concentrator is the best technology for producing electricity from solar energy, because of its high electrical efficiency, about 41%. This technique is the least mature due to the difficulties related to the storage of produced energy. This work conc... Show More
