Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for optimization of dilution of a viscous starting material to isolate and/or concentrate the product of interest from the starting source material such that the process minimizes the volume of diluent and the total volume of the waste stream generated during the process as well as maximizing the yield of desired product. The system employs cross-flow filtration modules with sub-channels that are equidistant to the inlet and outlet of said modules and such modules are characterized by optimal channel height, optimal transmembrane pressure, etc., which are selected in order to achieve the best combination of product quality and production yield.

Abstract: Methods and systems for increasing the yield of sugars from a biomass, such as a lignocellulosic biomass, are described. A non-ionic organic polymer is contacted with the biomass during the saccharification reaction, and the hydrolyzed mixture is separated using a filter into a permeate and a retentate, where the non-ionic organic polymer is present in the retentate. The retentate with the polymer is recycled to the hydrolysis mixture, which increased the yield of sugars using less saccharification enzymes. The methods thus allow for increased cost savings by reducing the amount of enzymes required to convert the biomass to sugars.

Abstract: The present application provide methods for producing ethanol from a biomass. The methods combine sugars produced from a feedstock containing starch with sugars produced from a cellulosic biomass. The methods allow increased amounts of ethanol to be produced from a given solids concentration in the fermenters. The methods also encompass filtering the liquefied feedstock mash through a filter comprising biomass fibers. The biomass filter produces a post-filtered mash stream comprising a high concentration of sugars and a low concentration of non-fermentable solids. The methods provide numerous advantages described herein.
