Hello Keith, Manickh is fine. No i did not hear about that work at USM but I will forward it to a friend who might be interested in water removal from natural latex as an alternative to centrifugation. I seem to have a problem with diagrams always it is saved in separate folder which can be uploaded separately without merging. Often i upload both files. If I recollect the missing diagram refers to a pyrolysis scheme wherein the rice hulls are pyrolysed to a char first b4 treatment (to make silica?). Silica is sooo interesting but alas I do not have access to laboratory facilities anymore since I am retired. So I browse web instead--came across biofuels only recently. It is excellent and I get lots of information from it. Steve's post that u could drive cars on > 160 proof ethanol came as a real shocker. I did not know that 20% water does not harm the engine. I have also learnt that u have lots of molasses and rice hulls in the USA available at low cost. I can only conclude that u r sitting on 'green gold'...the fuel of the future by a long shot. TQ
