Based on glucose recovery data from optimised pretreatment
conditions, calculated ethanol fermentation yields for the three
processing options are 101, 149 and 142 L ethanol per metric tonne
of original CGT for WF, WS and SSF respectively. From an economic
and logistical perspective, the SSF approach would be more favourable
in an industrial setting. Although process efficiencies
described herein are similar to those reported by Jeoh and
Agblevor (2001), their estimated potential ethanol yield at 270 L/
t was greater because of the higher sugar content in their CGT biomass,
and the potential yields of ethanol from pentose sugars. On
the basis of this latter premise, conversion of released pentose sugars
(122 kg of xylose/t) would yield an additional 79 L/metric
tonne.
