Hydrolysis

Cellulosic fractions of feedstocks originated from the pretreatment unit or externally received process streams can be enzymatically hydrolysed.

For the hydrolysis of these process streams, BPF has vessels of up to 10 m3 available, enabling hydrolysis at both high and reduced viscous conditions.

In addition, bench scale facilities are available to study enzymatic hydrolysis of (high solids) feedstocks to produce fermentable sugars for lab scale fermentation.

Hydrolysis up to 4 m3 is currently available.
