  • Process for producing an organic product from a carbon-based matter feedstock using gasification followed by fermentation of the synthesis gas
    Patent number: 10066247
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a fuel, in particular a liquid fuel, or another organic product, from a carbon-based matter feedstock, comprising the following steps: a/ gasification of the carbon-based matter feedstock in a first reactor, termed gasifier (1), b/ downstream of the gasification, fermentation of the synthesis gas produced according to step a/, by means of microorganisms, water and nutrients in a second reactor, termed fermenter (2), c/ recovery, downstream of the fermenter, of the microorganisms and of the water, d/ injection of at least a part of the recovered microorganisms and, where appropriate, of at least a part of the recovered water at the inlet (10) of the gasifier.

  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCTING AN ORGANIC PRODUCT FROM A CARBON-BASED MATTER FEEDSTOCK USING GASIFICATION FOLLOWED BY FERMENTATION OF THE SYNTHESIS GAS
    Publication number: 20160265008
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a fuel, in particular a liquid fuel, or another organic product, from a carbon-based matter feedstock, comprising the following steps: a/ gasification of the carbon-based matter feedstock in a first reactor, termed gasifier (1), b/ downstream of the gasification, fermentation of the synthesis gas produced according to step a/, by means of microorganisms, water and nutrients in a second reactor, termed fermenter (2), c/ recovery, downstream of the fermenter, of the microorganisms and of the water, d/ injection of at least a part of the recovered microorganisms and, where appropriate, of at least a part of the recovered water at the inlet (10) of the gasifier.
