To reduce the damage to the environment as much as possible in the future, commercial biorefinery will be small and decentralized as the main development trend. This trend will help reduce the overexploitation of natural resources and lower the adverse impact on the environment.
These small, decentralized factories can make full use of existing roads, electricity, and sewage systems to produce without damaging the environment. To maximize the use of local resources and dispose of waste most economically, each facility should be close to where the raw materials are produced and take advantage of existing power and sewage systems. Decentralized production methods can reduce transportation costs and emissions, and reduce environmental damage. This approach has been widely used in some countries and will become more and more common in the future.
According to the experience of the Danish alfalfa protein factory, decentralized commercial alfalfa protein factories typically have a scale of 50-100 tons per hour. The BioeXtek-In4.0 system can further improve the extraction rate of the alfalfa protein factory, reduce costs and energy consumption, and increase productivity and efficiency.
Decentralized commercial sweet sorghum syrup plants can also be scaled to 50-100 tons/hour. The BioeXtek-In4.0 system can minimize costs and improve efficiency. At this scale, the price of sweet sorghum syrup may reach the threshold of bioenergy, competing with corn and sugar cane.
A commercial plant refers to a plant that puts successfully developed new technologies, new products, or new processes into production and puts them on the market to realize economic benefits and commercial value. These factories usually have a mature production process and a complete production system and can produce high-quality products on a large scale to meet market demand.
