The renewable company BioGasol based in Denmark has delivered a commercial biomass pretreatment system to New York-based Sweetwater Energy. The biomass reactor is designed to treat lignocellulosic feedstock such as agricultural waste and wood before fermentation into biofuels.
Sweetwater Energy will use the newly delivered Carbofrac 10 unit in its demonstration facility to produce pretreated biomass for use in downstream processes. The reactor, capable of processing 100 kg of dry biomass per hour, is expected to bolster biofuel production capacity and optimise biomass pretreatment processes for production of bioethanol, bioplastics and biochemicals.
