Biorefinery

The Biorefinery platform’s objective is to value and exploit lignocellulosic biomass as a source of raw materials for the chemistry industry. To do this the platform is equipped with facilities for:  

  • Dividing the biomass into its constituent polymers cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin
  • Separation and purification of biopolymers which is a key step for obtaining highly pure polymers and oligomers.

Equipments:

  • M&K System laboratory Digester
  • Fiber analysis Morfi, Fibertec
  • Retsch grinding mills
  • Filter press FAURE
  • Pulp and Paper material : Mutek PCD02
  • Ultrafiltration System, Mutek DFS
  • Press Lescuyer 6T
  • Climatic chamber
  • Lhormargy disintegrators
