Comet Biorefining
Comet Biorefining has developed a novel process to convert cellulosic sugar at low cost. This enabling and ground breaking technology allows biofuels and bioproducts manufacturers to have a reliable and consistent source of cellulose-based glucose that can be directly converted to value-added end products. Comet cellulosic sugar is produced as a syrup and is high in glucose concentration.
The Comet cellulosic sugar process uses a unique, two stage process to activate cellulosic biomass, followed by conversion to glucose at very low enxyme loading. Co-products are used for energy production.
Advantages of the Comet cellulosic sugar process include:
- Low cost process - Comet's two stage activation process replaces traditional pretreatment at significantly reduced enzyme loading
- Low capital cost - Comet's process is modular and relies on simple, off the shelf process equipment. The shop fabricated modular system reduces capital cost.
- Low cost sugar - Modular design and low cost processing allows for smaller plants to be located close to the biomass source, resulting in reduced biomass transportation cost.
- Low scale up risk - Smaller, modular plants reduce scale up factors and risk.
