美国国家可再生能源实验室(NREL)为美国能源部(DOE)建造并运营了一个将木质纤维素原料转化为乙醇的中试工厂。工艺开发单元(PDU)的设计生产能力为1吨(干基)/天生物质，并配备有处理各种原料的能力。主要加工系统包括原料粉碎、前处理、同步糖化发酵(SSF)和乙醇蒸馏。自1995年3月工厂启动以来，已成功完成了几次试验运行。工厂的能力正在不断提高，以满足我们工业合作伙伴的需求，并促进NREL的工艺开发工作。本文报告了该设施的调试和运行的各个方面、现有的能力和使用计划。版权所有(C)1997爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has built and operated a pilot-plant to convert lignocellulosic feedstocks to ethanol for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The process development unit (PDU) has a designed throughput of I ton (dry basis)/day of biomass and is equipped to handle a variety of feedstocks. Major processing systems include feedstock milling, pretreatment, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), and ethanol distillation. Several experimental runs have been successfully completed since the startup of the plant in March 1995. The plant capabilities are continually being improved to meet the needs of our industrial partners and to facilitate NREL's process development work. This paper reports on various aspects of commissioning and operations, the present capabilities, and plans for use of the facility. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
