PRODUCTION OF HIGH SOLIDS SYRUP FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS HYDROLYSATE FERMENTATION BROTH

摘要

Lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate fermentation broth may be processed to produce a high solids syrup having relatively low viscosity that has a high energy content and may be burned in a fermentation production process. The high solids syrup was achieved through liquid/solid separation of broth or depleted broth producing a thin stillage with low suspended solids allowing evaporation to high solids while maintaining low viscosity.
