<p>A feedstock saccharification system comprising a tank configured to contain a cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass feedstock and a liquid medium; a dispersing system configured to disperse the biomass feedstock in the liquid medium, the dispersing system having a chamber and, within the chamber, a rotating member which draws the feedstock and liquid medium into the chamber and expels a dispersion of the feedstock in the medium from the chamber. The dispersing system has a rotating member that generates sufficiently high static fluid pressure within the chamber so that the dispersing system functions as a centrifugal pump.</p> |
