Cellulosic biomass pretreatment reactor

A news from Biorefiningmagazine.com reported that  a bench-scale horizontal reactor designed and manufactured by AdvanceBio Systems LLC will be in use by Penn State University for their cellulosic pretreatment research. This is great! If looking at the reactors that have been used in bench top studies on biomass pretreatment, most of them can not be use to run the large particle size (un-milled biomass) with good high shear mixing at high solids content.
