Chem-Pro, Mo-Fuel partner to commercialize mobile cellulosic ethanol processor

In New Jersey, ChemPro Group announced a strategic alliance with Mo-Fuel (Rural Bio-waste) to commercialize a Mobile Two-Stage dilute-acid cellulose hydrolysis processing system.

The technology, a continuous catalytic hydrolysis, produces a high conversion of biomass feedstock into ethanol. The equipment required is compact, ideally suited for modularization so that plants can be located right at the source of feedstock. The first step being taken by the alliance is the construction of a mobile feedstock testing unit that will be used to generate process data from various types of cellulosic feedstock.

The unit is expected to be operational in early 2010. The ChemPro Group is experienced in designing and building modular ethanol production plants. The company’s core business is modular process equipment and systems, including skid-mounted equipment, stand-alone modular process units, multi-unit complete modular process plants.
