Scale-up and Commercialisation
Anders Funch JensenDirector, Customer Solutions
Semi-batch or continuous?Design Requirements:
• Continuous scalable process• Feedstock & process flexible• Low energy consumption• Homogenous material• Efficient pretreatment leading
to low enzyme consumption• High separation of C5 and C6 sugars• Adaptable for downstream
processes
