Applied Biorefinery Sciences (ABS) is developing commercial biorefineries using our Hot Water Extraction (HWE) technology. We are pursuing funding for a 5 ton/day pilot plant to enable detail design of commercial biorefineries. We expect to build and/or license HWE biorefineries as the core of cellulosic ethanol plants, and as pretreatment before pulp and pellet mills. ABS also performs contract R&D in biochemicals / biomass processing, with a lab in Syracuse, NY. ABS provides analytical, process development, and technical support services.
