CBP Compared to SSCF
PROS:
• Operating Costs: – significantly lower due to no enzyme purchase offsite; instead, enzymes are produced by Clostridium phytofermentans |
CONS:
• Capital Costs: - higher due to higher residence times – more reactors are needed for the same amount of output • Operating costs: - AFEX Pretreatment cost slightly higher than regular DILUTE ACID Pretreatment - The yield is slightly lower for CBP |
