&g A fellow researcher (Gianluca Marcotullio, PhD promovendus, Delft University of Technology) who shares our passion for furfural, advised us today about the publication of his latest (co-authored) R&D. Will we soon see Super Yields in ordinary furfural plants? We believe so (know so!). Here goes the abstract of the 8 September 2010 Green Chemistry article:
Furfural production through traditional processes is accompanied by acidic waste stream production and high energy consumption. Modern furfural production process concepts will have to consider environmental concerns and energy requirements besides economics, moreover will have to be integrated within widened biorefinery concepts.

 It's a remarkable time at the Proserpine Sugar Mill.
C-E-O John Power says in a matter of days production at the furfural plant could be up and running.
'It's certainly very exciting and you know it adds to the uniqueness and of the Whitsunday area,' said Whitsunday Regional Council CEO John Finlay.
The Furfural Plant at the Proserpine Mill which was officially opened in May, is the only bio refinery of its kind in the sugar industry.
Since then, the equipment has been tested to make sure it's properly functioning.
'We've just got a couple of other remaining safety certificate things to sign through with the legislators,' said Proserpine Sugar Mill CEO John Power ... bit.ly/PSMwin
