Biomass Conditioning
The transformation and conversion of residual biomass goes through a pre-treatment sequence designed to homogenize their physico-chemical properties and improve their potential for substitution to virgin source inputs. It is common practice in the industry to encounter a combination of several processes designed to condition forestry, agricultural, municipal and urban residues for any given vocation. Innofibre’s pilot plant houses most of the equipment dedicated to this sector.
