Pretreatment of Cellulosic Biomass
|
From ProSonix Corporation
In the past five years there has been an explosion in the laboratory effort put into finding an economical way to develop pretreatment processes for biomass feedstock's, in order to prepare them for conversion to sugar and ethanol. The next step is to take that base of laboratory knowledge and convert it to online processes. Because of the very high temperatures and high desire solids levels required for most pretreatment techniques, direct steam injection is the most practical approach to heating the slurry. This paper will introduce the audience to the challenges associated with scaling their lab pretreatment process to production levels, and some practical advantages of developing successful pilot strategies.
