A successful implementation of green technologies in today’s society requires
performing a progressive decentralization of the manufacturing processes from large
scale production centers towards small scale decentralized facilities. In this context,
biomass hydrolysis by supercritical water must play a leading role. First, the reduction
of the reaction times to values lower than 1 second intensifies the process. Second, the
high selectivities, reaching values up to 98%, eliminate further separation stages.
Finally, since only water is used as solvent and reaction medium, the postprocessing of
effluents is avoided. However, the operation of a real biomass hydrolysis plant still
presents some challenges related to the combination of solid particles and high pressure
processes and to the complexity of the biomass structure. The implementation of this
technology in delocalized production centers strongly depends on overcoming these
limitations. The aim of this thesis is to redesign and adapt the unit operations of the process of biomass hydrolysis by supercritical water to the raw materials and operating conditions expected in a real plant.
