The chemical-free mechanical and
thermal pre-treatment enables an optimal
hydrolysis. Purification steps are
unnecessary and makes for a safer and
more environmentally friendly process.
Through the process integrated enzyme
production costs can be reduced to a
minimum. Enzymes are produced exactly
when and where needed, there are no
costs for logistics or formulation and no
dependence on external suppliers.
Clariant can quickly adapt enzymes to
new feedstock and process conditions.
This achieves a most efficient hydrolysis
with maximum yields and makes the
process flexible for different boundary
conditions.
The organism used for fermentation is
highly optimized and able to
simultaneously ferment both C5 & C6
sugars in a one-pot reaction. Thus the
ethanol yield increases by 50% compared
to only C6 fermentation.

– There are five main product groups present in sunliquid® sugar solutions:
– Depending on the specifications needed for each fermentation process, the solution
can be optimized by different means to ensure premium performance:
- Feedstock
- Process conditions
- Concentration
- Established conditioning methods
– Quality specifications vs. economics is the key aspect
