AB A successful implementation of green technologies in today’s society requiresperforming a progressive decentralization of the manufacturing processes from largescale production centers towards small scale decentralized facilities. In this context,biomass hydrolysis by supercritical water must play a leading role. First, the reductionof the reaction times to values lower than 1 second intensifies the process. Second, thehigh selectivities, reaching values up to 98%, eliminate further separation stages.Finally, since only water is used as solvent and reaction medium, the postprocessing ofeffluents is avoided. However, the operation of a real biomass hydrolysis plant stillpresents some challenges related to the combination of solid particles and high pressureprocesses and to the complexity of the biomass structure. The implementation of thistechnology in delocalized production centers strongly depends on overcoming theselimitations. 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.
