Waste Management and Renmatix to explore conversion of urban waste to low-cost cellulosic sugar via supercritical hydrolysis

Green Car Congress

The water-based Plantrose Process consists of two core steps: Fractionation of biomass and separation of the remaining solids which contain cellulose and lignin. The stored solids are slurried with water and pumped and heated to reaction temperature and then fed to the fractionation reactor where the reaction takes place.
