That would tie in well with the announcement from last year in regards to the Andritz evaluation
16 March 2016
Australian Securities Exchange Announcement
Leaf & Andritz complete successful evaluation of
Glycell pretreatment on Empty Fruit Bunch
Biomass
Highlights
Joint evaluation by Leaf and Andritz show improved recovery of sugars using
GlycellTM process
Andritz nominates Leaf’s GlycellTM process as one of its preferred
pretreatments of Empty Fruit Bunch Biomass
Leaf Resources and Andritz (a globally leading supplier of plant, equipment, and
services for pulp and paper and other industries) undertook work to evaluate
Glycell pretreatment technology on the specific biomass known as Empty Fruit
Bunch (EFB) at pilot scale in Springfield, Ohio.
EFB is an abundant, low cost feedstock in palm oil producing countries like Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand and others. Approximately 20 million metric tons are
“generated” annually by palm oil mills in Malaysia, between 22-23 million metric tons
in Indonesia and over 2 million tons in Thailand.
The process included EFB material that had been applied to a proprietary material
washing and resizing stage designed by Andritz.
At high solids saccharification, the cellulose to glucose (C6 sugar) conversion yield of
91% total yield at 72hrs for GlycellTM treated EFB was 13% higher on average than
using a dilute acid process. Xylan (C5 sugar) to xylose conversion
yield of GlycellTM treated EFB increased by 10% (75% cf. 66%) following 72 hours of
saccharification retention when compared to using a dilute acid process.
The report concludes the Glycell method of pretreatment is recommended for
maximizing sugars from EFB.
The successful pretreatment of EFB now means that the GlycellTM process has
produced superior results on: EFB, sugar cane bagasse, wheat straw and various
hardwoods including Eucalyptus Globulus, Poplar and American mixed hardwoods.
Work continues on softwood species.
Leaf Chief Operating Officer Alex Baker, who oversaw the project on Leaf
Resource’s behalf, said “It is a great outcome and shows the value of collaborating
with Andritz. Leaf is very pleased that Andritz identifies the GlycellTM process as one
of the preferred pretreatment for EFB, and look forward to working with Andritz to
deploy our superior technology package. Opening up project opportunities in
Malaysia and other oil palm growing countries in the ASEAN region is important to
our commercialisation goals.”
