Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Materials (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) are processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as energy, fuels, foods or materials. For example, systems equipment, and methods are described that can be used to treat feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, using an array of vaults.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A treatment operating unit, comprising: a plurality of vaults, each vault having an irradiation device for treating and a conveyer for moving a biomass material within each vault, wherein the vaults collectively are configured such the treatment system delivers a first dose to the biomass material in a first vault and then a second dose to the same biomass material in a second vault. 2. The treatment system of claim 1 wherein the conveyor comprises a vibratory conveyer. 3. The treatment system of claim 1 wherein the biomass material comprises corn cobs. 4. The treatment system of claim 1 wherein the irradiation device comprises an electron accelerator. 5. The treatment system of claim 1 wherein the vaults are adjacent to each other. 6. The operating unit of claim 5 , wherein the vaults are arranged in rows. 7. The operating unit of claim 6 , wherein the vaults area arranged in a plurality of parallel rows such that adjacent pairs of vaults share a common wall. 8. The operating unit of claim 1 , wherein the conveyors are configured to transport material through the vaults at a rate of at least 1000 lb per hour. 9. The operating unit of claim 4 , wherein the irradiation device further comprises a scan horn. 10. The operating unit of claim 1 wherein the vaults are radiation opaque.
