  • Fuel compositions containing lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process syrup
    Patent number: 9873846
    Abstract: A solid lignocellulosic fuel composition is produced from combining the syrup co-product of a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process and an additional fuel component. The syrup is an excellent binder for a powdery fuel material that is not readily handled. The fuel composition is further processed to form briquettes, pellets and the like.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2018
    Assignee: E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY
    Inventors: Kenneth Miles Hill, Steven H Swearingen
  • LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS FERMENTATION PROCESS CO-PRODUCT FUEL FOR CEMENT KILN
    Publication number: 20170305791
    Abstract: A fuel made from co-products derived from a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process is used to fuel a cement production process. Filter cake and syrup co-products are mixed and dried, then burned in a cement kiln to create the temperatures needed for cement production.
    Type: Application
