Process and System for Producing Pulp, Energy, and Bioderivatives from Plant-Based and Recycled Materials - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240226841 titled 'Process and System for Producing Pulp, Energy, and Bioderivatives from Plant-Based and Recycled Materials

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to an industrial system for processing various plant materials to produce marketable materials. Particularly, the system integrates subcritical water extraction technology and includes a pre-processing module and a two-stage extractor (processing module) with constant control of temperature, pressure, and/or residence time. In some embodiments, the final product of the disclosed system can include feedstock constituents for biofuel production (sugars and/or oil), biochar, raw materials for various industries (such as pulp for manufacturing paper or cellulose for use in various industries). The disclosed system can be modular or non-modular, stationary or mobile, and can include prefabricated elements with programmed automatic or manual operation so that it can be easily moved and/or assembled on site.

• Integration of subcritical water extraction technology
• Pre-processing module and two-stage extractor with constant control of temperature, pressure, and residence time
• Final product includes feedstock constituents for biofuel production, biochar, and raw materials for various industries
• Modular or non-modular system, stationary or mobile, with programmed automatic or manual operation
• Easily movable and assembled on site

Potential Applications: - Biofuel production - Manufacturing paper - Various industries requiring cellulose

Problems Solved: - Efficient processing of plant materials - Production of marketable materials - Control of temperature, pressure, and residence time

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in material processing - Diversification of raw materials for industries - Modular and mobile system for flexibility in operation

Commercial Applications: - Industrial processing plants - Biofuel production facilities - Paper manufacturing companies

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system control temperature, pressure, and residence time during extraction? 2. What are the specific industries that can benefit from the raw materials produced by this system?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on the optimization of subcritical water extraction technology for various plant materials.
