================================= Lignocellulosic Biomass Processes ================================= The `cellulosic` module contains units and systems specific to lignocellulosic biomass processing. Various pretreatment and fermentation systems are available for users to plug and play. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :hidden: chemicals systems units Getting Started --------------- One full biorefinery configuration is available in this module, a corn stover biorefinery design for the production of cellulosic ethanol. With the exception of the on-site enzyme production, this configuration follows all assumptions from a study by Humbird et. al. executed with Aspen plus [1]_. In contrast to the original report by Humbird et al., the cellulase mixture is bought at the same concentration of 50 g·L–1 and at a price of 0.424 $·kg–1, which is the back-calculated cost of on-site enzyme production as reported in the benchmark study. Please checkout the original BioSTEAM manuscript [2]_ for additional details. .. code-block:: python >>> from biorefineries import cellulosic >>> cs = cellulosic.Biorefinery('corn stover ethanol') >>> cs.chemicals # All chemicals used by the biorefinery.
