Process | Assumptions |
---|---|
Biomass generation | 845,000 tonnes/year to plant, with 75TPY fines screened to boiler. 770,000 going to the bioconversion process |
Boiler | Efficiency and yields are comparable to the 2011 NREL Aspen model |
MBS pretreatment | Biomass is at 50 % water content. FS-10, a blend of softwoods (Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine). Byproducts from the reaction will be comparable to those from NREL’s dilute acid model |
Wastewater treatment | Efficiency and yields are comparable to the 2011 NREL Aspen model |
