Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermentation of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the bio fuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method for retrofitting an existing plant. The method includes adding a fractionation process to separate bran from other components in a feedstock to the existing plant, adding a pretreatment process downstream of the fractionation process, the pretreatment process configured to receive the bran and utilize water and heat to break down cellulose and hemicellulose in the bran; adding a hydrolysis and cellulosic fermentation process downstream of the pretreatment process and upstream of the fermentation process to hydrolyze the bran with a cellulase enzyme complex cocktail and to ferment with an organism to produce cellulosic beer; and combining the cellulosic beer with starch from the grain in the existing plant into the fermentation process to increase overall yield per feedstock unit in the existing plant.

Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using biomass feedstock to produce a fermented product and co-products. The process includes washing the biomass feedstock, pretreating the washed feedstock, hydrolysis and fermentation of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel and co-products. The processes may also include yeast hydrolysis and aerobic propagation.

Abstract: This disclosure describes providing techniques to separate suspended solids from liquid with dissolved solids in a process stream. This disclosure describes a method for adding a chemical to the process stream in which the chemical induces flocculation to occur with suspended solids. The process separates the suspended solids formed in in flocs by using a dewatering device. This creates a liquid with dissolved solids stream and suspended solids for furthering processing.
