  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONVERTING LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS TO CONCENTRATED SUGARS
    Publication number: 20160215312
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for converting lignocellulosic biomass to concentrated sugars. For example, a saccharification process includes obtaining lignocellulosic biomass and converting the lignocellulosic biomass into sugars. The lignocellulosic biomass is converted into sugars by flowing the lignocellulosic biomass countercurrently to a flow of water through a saccharification vessel having a column and converting the lignocellulosic biomass into a sugar solution using an enzyme in the column.
