Apparatus And Method For Producing Fuel Ethanol From Biomass
US Patent:
2008002, Jan 24, 2008
Filed:
Jul 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/779914
Inventors:
John J. SAVARESE - Collegeville PA, US
International Classification:
C12P 7/10, C12M 1/02
US Classification:
435165, 4352891
Abstract:
Cellulosic biomass at the growing site is pulverized and hydrolyzed in collectors which transfer the comminuted biomass into pretreatment units. In the pretreatment units enzymes and/or other agents are added to the pretreatment units to disassociate the lignin from the cellulose and hemicellulose, and to further decompose the biomass to simple sugars. The sugar solution is transferred to a fermentation unit and fermenting microorganisms are added to produce ethanol. Preferably vegetable oil or other ethanol-miscible liquid is added to provide a medium to extract the ethanol from the solution for transfer to a device where heating or distillation removes the ethanol which is collected for use as a liquid fuel. All of the units are preferably mounted for easy deployment to various locations in the vicinity of the numerous growing sites which produce the biomass.
