  • PROCESSING BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20160244795
    Abstract: Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as energy, fuels, foods or materials. For example, systems are described that can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, to produce an intermediate or product, e.g., by fermentation.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 2, 2016
    Publication date: August 25, 2016
    Inventors: Marshall Medoff, Harrison D. Medoff

  • Bioprocessing
    Patent number: 8465956
    Abstract: Functionalized substrate materials, for example inorganic particles and/or synthetic polymeric particles, are used to enhance bioprocesses such as saccharification and fermentation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2013

  • Processing biomass
    Patent number: 8377668
    Abstract: Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed for use in the production of useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems can use biomass materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, to enhance the production of a product, e.g., the production of ethanol and/or butanol by fermentation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: Xyleco, Inc.
    Inventors: Marshall Medoff, Thomas Craig Masterman, Harrison D. Medoff

  • PROCESSING BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20100297705
    Abstract: Biomass feedstocks (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) are processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can convert feedstock materials to a sugar solution, which can then be fermented to produce ethanol. Biomass feedstock is saccharified in a vessel by operation of a jet mixer, the vessel also containing a fluid medium and a saccharifying agent.
