Biomass fractionation

Digestion and fractionation processes for integrated use in biorefineries

The main objective is to establish processes for a biomass biorefinery in Germany and throughout Europe.

The focus is on

• wood pulping and fractionation processes as  well as on
  
• alternative processing lines for oilseeds.  

We develop the processes at laboratory scale and scale them up for transfer to pilot scale. In the field of biomass fractionation, we are developing new technologies and innovative processes for processing of wood and oilseeds to enable the holistic use of biomass, increase value creation and obtain high-value end products.
