Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention includes improved systems and methods for producing biomass-derived feedstocks for biofuel and biochemical manufacturing processes. The systems and methods use components that are capable of transferring relatively high concentrations of solid biomass utilizing pressure variations between vessels, and allows for the recovery and recycling of heterogeneous catalyst materials.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for producing biomass-derived feedstocks for biofuel and biochemical manufacturing processes, the apparatus comprising: (i) a biomass hopper configured to receive biomass to be converted into the biomass-derived feedstock; (ii) a pressurization vessel in selective communication with the biomass hopper to selectively receive the biomass from the biomass hopper and provide a pressurized biomass, the pressurization vessel including: (a) a pressu…
