摘要： 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%.

摘要： The subject matter of this application is using novel biological reactors for the fermentation of gases into liquid products. More specifically, the subject matter relates to the use of a Multiple-Pass Trickle Bed Reactor (MP-TBR) for the anaerobic or aerobic and biological fermentation of gases generated from industrial processes and/or from the gasification of biomass and other organic carbon sources. The products may include, but are not limited to, ethanol and other valuable chemicals.

摘要： A mechanical separation device optionally includes one or more of a housing, a screen a rotary assembly, one or more wash bars and a plurality of nozzles. The screen can be positioned within the housing to separate at least a portion of the liquid medium from the solids. The rotary assembly can be within the housing and can be configured to move the solids and the liquid medium along an axial length of the housing toward the discharge outlet. The one or more wash bars can be within the housing and can be positioned adjacent the screen. The plurality of nozzles can be spaced along the one or more wash bars. The he one or more wash bars can be configured to receive a wash fluid and the plurality of nozzles configured to discharge the wash fluid against the screen.

摘要： 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.

摘要： This disclosure describes techniques to optimize dewatering process in a production facility. A process separates components in a mixture by using a separation device and a dewatering device. The process receives the mixture of liquids and solids, and separates out suspended solids from the mixture of liquids and solids by using the separation device, wherein a liquid with insoluble solids stream is created. The process dewaters the liquid with insoluble solids stream by using the dewatering device to produce a liquid with small particles stream and insoluble solids having particle sizes that are greater than about 20 microns to about 1000 microns.

摘要： 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.
