DESCRIPTION

Experience in treating the following lignocellulosic raw materials:


  • Lignocellulosic crops: miscanthus, wood, wheat straw, bark,…
  • Agro-industrial side streams: paper pulp, spent grains, bagasse, press cakes, stillage,...
  • Agronomic by-products: corn stover, corn cobs, husk, fibre, stems, leaves, verge grass,…

What BBEPP offers:


  • Mechanical, thermal, physicochemical and enzymatic pre-treatment of biomass feedstocks
  • A wide spectrum of modular operation units, operating at various lab and pilot scale
    • Reactors for chemical pretreatment of biomass (0.5 L – 5400 L )
    • Reactors for enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass (bench – 50 000 L)
    • Dewatering and concentration equipment: CHAMBER FILTER PRESSES (Large Pilot Unit (ATEX proven)), DECANTER CENTRIFUGES (Large Pilot Unit)
    • Auxiliary equipment: Milling, thermal treatment
