Renmatix unveils supercritical hydrolysis process for biomass sugars

Green Car Congress

At Renmatix’s demonstration facility in Kennesaw, Georgia, the company has already scaled its process to convert three dry tons of woody biomass to sugars daily. Basic stages of the process include: Biomass which has undergone size reduction as necessary is mixed with water to form a slurry and pumped into a fractionation reactor.
