OzBIONY

Pretreatment Of Biomass Using Ozonolysis

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / FEATURES

OZBIONY is a Pretreatment System of Biomass using Ozonolysis. It separates the biomass components namely lignin and holocellulose to enhance the cellulose recovery for downstream applications. The cellulose is further processed to increase the value of oil palm biomass into high value-added products such as CMC, a type of food thickener, whilst the lignin can be utilized for bio-fuel production

NEEDS

The pretreatment process usually involves hazardous chemlcals, is time-consuming, and produces harmful wastes.

A simple and cost-effective technology is needed.

Ozonolysis has been used as an oxidizing agent and is a good sterilizer

Ozonated biomass could be separate from cellulose, hemi-cellulose, and lignin easily making it convenient to process these components downstream

APPROACH

The biomass components completely separated into lignin-rich (OOR) and cellulose-rich (ODT) treated biomass without destroying the natural structure respectively

OzBiONY is advantageous for bio-refinery since moderate operation condition is required.

Self-syntheOzBiONY could maximize the TRS recovery up to 99.9%

The results testified implementation of OzBiONY in bio-refinery could enhance TRS recovery in hydrolysis reaction extending the benefits for downstream bio-fuel and bio-based chemical production.

BENEFITS

Estimated c The cost of producing treated biomass is RM20/100g.

Revenue from the sale of cellulose is RM106/100g.

The profit margin is 64% excluding equipment and labor cost.

COMPETITORS
