Downstream processing strategy + Process simulation model

ESR4 will develop a process simulation model for the whole downstream process design (TPB-3rd phase) where grass-silage fed-1st phase TPB leachates will be compared to that of the current pressed system. The model will be used to clarify material balances, estimate the demand for chemicals cleaning agents and energy and thus identify preferential designs. The process simulation will be continuously adjusted as a mechanism to assess the effectiveness of optimising technologies that have been developed within WP1.
