Pilot Plant Campaign Confirms Viability of Bio-TCat Technology
PEARL RIVER, NY/PARIS – Anellotech has proven the viability of its Bio-TCat™ technology by achieving commercially targeted yields in its TCat-8® pilot unit in Silsbee, Texas, during six months of continuous process operations.
Process yields of 22-24% by weight of liquid products from loblolly pine feedstock were demonstrated. Supplemental carbon monoxide (CO) output provides potential for an additional 3-5% yield by weight of cellulosic ethanol via third-party technologies or production of renewable electricity.
