Many
materials of plant origin are used to produce energy.
These
include woody biomass, agricultural residues, pomace, husks, fruit
and vegetable scraps.
After
a crushing phase, enzymes are added to extract the proteins, which
then precipitate.
We
use a solid-liquid decanter to separate the liquid phase from its
suspended solid phase.
The
process is relatively straightforward and contributes to renewable
energy production.
If
the proteins are intended for human use, such as from vegetables,
legumes, or fruit, a food-grade separator is recommended.
