Figura 1. Upstream unit of the CLAMBER biorefinery
CLAMBERis a R&D advanced biorefinery at demonstration scale located in
Puertollano (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain). In order to fulfil the objectives of
this plant, the supply and installation of an enzymatic hydrolysis unit is
necessary. In this sense, funding has been obtained from the European Regional
Development Fund, in a percentage of 80% on the total costs of this supply,
through an aid for the acquisition of scientific and technical equipment, corresponding
to the State Program for the Generation of Knowledge and Scientific and
Technological Strengthening of the R&D&i System, State Subprogram of
Research Infrastructures and Scientific-Technical Equipment, Plurirregional
Operational Program of Spain, investment priority 1.A., within the framework of
the “Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación
2017-2020. Una manera de hacer Europa”.
Description of the supply
The CLAMBER biorefinery has a pretreatment
system based on steam explosion technology that is able to treat 1 ton per day
(with the possibility of tripling its production if it works 3 shifts) and
which allows the production of bioproducts with high added value. from woody
and herbaceous residues.
In the new unit of enzymatic hydrolysis, the cellulose
from lignocellulosic residues and other agri-food waste streams rich in
carbohydrates (whey, vinasse, molasses, expired juices, etc.) will be hydrolysed,
obtaining a sugar stream that will be fed to the processes of fermentation,
clarification, concentration and separation to obtain bioproducts.
The hydrolysis unit to be supplied will house the
chemical reaction of hydrolysis caused by enzymes called hydrolases. Due to the
complexity of the equipment, it has been necessary to previously draft a
detailed engineering, which specifies the manufacturing, supply and start-up
processes of this unit to be supplied.
