  • Patent number: 12071451
    Abstract: A method of enriching a material comprising glucose, fructose, and one or more components inert to isomerization using chromatography to produce a high purity fructose product. An embodiment of the method purifies high fructose corn syrup from a feedstock into three product streams: a first fraction rich in glucose, a second fructose product comprising an extract of fructose purity exceeding about 95%, and a third less pure fructose fraction comprising fructose ranging from about 55% to about 90% fructose purity. The third less pure fructose fraction may be combined with 42% fructose syrup to produce saleable mid-purity fructose product, such as having 55% fructose purity. An SMB system is also disclosed and comprises a first SMB separator, a second SMB separator, and an isomerization chamber.

  • Patent number: 10549238
    Abstract: Methods of regenerating a strong base anion resin are described. The method comprises collecting a salt-containing product from a chromatographic system configured to process a biomass derived material. The salt-containing product is processed through a nanofiltration membrane to collect a salt-containing permeate, which is used to regenerate a spent strong base anion resin. The biomass may be a plant-based material, such as sugar beets or sugar cane. A system for regenerating a strong base anion resin is also described.
