Demonstration scale integration of lignocellulosic processes for energy sorghum and switchgrass

ICM successfully completed 1000 hour integrated runs on Energy Sorghum and Switchgrass feedstocks in 2015.  This process included pretreatment, hydrolysis and fermentation as well as a several adjacent unit operations all running in tandem.  In this review of the final results, the newest learnings about the process will be presented, and key performance indicators will be discussed.  This talk will also present raw data from the integrated runs and compare them to commercial relevance targets, then discuss process performance sensitivity on commercial robustness derived using ICM’s technoeconomic model.
