Fractionation technology
The core of the Bio2X biorefinery concept is the formico® organosolv fractionation technology developed by Chempolis. Formico® is an enabling technology for valorizing agricultural residues. However, it also offers flexibility in utilizing many types of feedstock. Lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose are separated with high yield and purity, enabling their usage for various applications.
The main benefits of formico®
- High feedstock flexibility with a focus on straw and bamboo
- High material efficiency. Biomass is converted with superior yield into raw materials for chemical and material industries
- Low-temperature fractionation and high selectivity, enabling superior product quality
- Closed-loop process: the process chemicals are recovered and returned back to the production
