PROCESSING BIOMASS

摘要

Biomass feedstocks (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) are processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can be useful for separating solids from liquids of bioprocessed biomass material slurries. For example, filtration systems are described that include multiple centrifuges, e.g., multiple tandem centrifuges.

1. A filtration method comprising:
utilizing a first centrifuge to remove a first portion of solids from a first slurry of saccharified biomass, producing a second slurry, and utilizing a second centrifuge to remove a second portion of solids from the second slurry, producing a third slurry.
