A system for recycling energy in a production plant includes a distillation device configured to generate a heated vapor in response to distillation and a system configured to recycle heat from the heated vapor back into the production plant. The system for recycling heat can include a fin-fan heat exchanger and a compressor or a heat pump with a heat exchanger configured as an evaporator and a heat exchanger configured as a condenser.

Systems and methods for recycling energy from distillation

This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

Fractionated stillage separation and feed products

The invention relates to methods of preconditioning pretreated cellulosic material in the presence of a combination of phenol oxidizing enzyme and glucoamylase. The invention also relates to processes of producing sugars and fermentation products including a preconditioning step. Finally the invention relates to a composition suitable for preconditioning.

Methods of preconditioning pretreated cellulosic material

The invention relates to processes of producing sugars and/or fermentation products from pretreated cellulosic material comprising the steps of: preconditioning pretreated cellulosic material; hydrolyzing using a cellulolytic enzyme preparation; and fermenting sugars with a microorganism; wherein a solid-liquid separation step, resulting in a solid fraction and a liquid fraction, is carried out: after preconditioning, but before hydrolysis; or after hydrolysis, but before fermentation; wherein phenol oxidizing enzyme and hemicellulase are present or added during preconditioning; after preconditioning, but before hydrolysis; or during hydrolysis.
