Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in a defiber process stream by using two or more mechanical devices to separate the solids from the liquids based on density differences. The process produces animal feed products having a protein content ranging from approximately 45% to approximately 64%.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using biomass feedstock to produce a fermented product and co-products. The process includes washing the biomass feedstock, pretreating the washed feedstock, hydrolysis and fermentation of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel and co-products. The processes may also include yeast hydrolysis and aerobic propagation.

Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermenta-tion of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the biofuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes providing techniques to separate suspended solids from liquid with dissolved solids in a process stream. This disclosure describes a method for adding a chemical to the process stream in which the chemical induces flocculation to occur with suspended solids. The process separates the suspended solids formed in in flocs by using a dewatering device. This creates a liquid with dissolved solids stream and suspended solids for furthering processing.
