Publication number: 20190010419Abstract: Methods and systems used to extract lipids suitable in production of biofuels from a fermentation broth may include using heat to pre-treat the fermentation broth in order to more easily extract a product from oleaginous microorganisms in the broth. Additionally or alternatively, a combination of enzymes including amylase, 1-4 mannosidase, and 1-3 mannosidase may be used to break down cell walls of the oleaginous microorganisms. Residual broth water may be recycled and used as imbibition water for washing a process feedstock to extract sugar.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Kirk APT, William BARCLAY, Micah BLAZER, Jacob BORDEN, Adam Burja, Daniel DONG, Armando DURAZO, Jean-Charles DUMENIL, Arthur EDGE, Jon HANSEN, Alexandra HOFLER, David JEFFERS, Chris LYON, Vidya PAI, Joseph William PFEIFER, III, Martin J.

The drive chassis includes a single sleeve unit having a top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, and a back panel. The single sleeve unit is a single piece of material such that the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the bottom panel, and the back panel are continuous. Additionally, the single piece of material is bent at an intersection of each of the top, first side, second side, bottom, and back panels.
