Bee Nuc from Rice Straw Composite

Innovation

This research developed the Bee Nuc for Queen Bee from biomass composite materials and then transferred the technology to help beekeepers grow the bee species 3-5 times faster. From this research, we convert agricultural wastes into the valuable product. We also aim to reduce the level of PM 2.5 pollution caused by burning of agricultural residues after harvesting.

Molded Pulp with Nanocellulose Reinforcement

Innovation

This research reinforced the molded pulp packaging from bagasse with cellulose nanofibers and found that they were noticeably much stronger than the controls. Therefore, this can reduce the use of bagasse pulp raw materials for at least 25%. From the research result, we have already transferred the technology to the industrial sector to apply in their production process.

Biocomposite Table Set

Innovation

This research developed an environmentally friendly structural material from biocomposite materials which had a sandwich structure, hence, lightweight but high strength. They can be used as a substitute for real woods or other engineered woods. From this research, we convert agricultural wastes into the valuable product. We also aim to reduce the level of PM 2.5 pollution caused by burning of agricultural residues after harvesting.

Biomass Pellet from Corn Residues

Innovation

This research aimed to increase the efficiency of the biomass pellet from corn residues by mixing with torrefied fuel in different ratios. It was found that the increasing amount of torrefied fraction helped increase the energy value of the biomass pellet and its density. Also, durability were still within the standard commercial values. Therefore, this method can reduce the production costs for the entrepreneurs and increase the quality of their biomass fuel products.
