Continuous Biphasic Reactor Skid
This skid enables the conversion of biomass-derived sugar streams into the platform chemical Furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid on the multikilogram per day scale (skid throughput of 1-10kg/hr). Please explore this skid via the Virtual Reality model of Biorizon’s biomass to bio-aromatics lab at the Green Chemistry Campus in Bergen op Zoom!
Biorizon’s biomass to bio-aromatics lab
Biorizon co-initiator TNO has got the following equipment in its biomass to bio-aromatics lab.
- Biphasic Reactor (BPR): Designed for the continuous conversion (1-10 L/h) of lignocellulosic sugar solutions to furanic intermediates.
- Multi-Purpose Batch Reactor (MPBR): Flexible reactor setup, with an integrated filtration unit, to prepare a variety of bio-aromatic samples.
- Condensation Skid: Continuous reactor (1-10 L/h) for corrosive reactions. Mainly used to prepare furanic intermediates.
- Continuous Flow Diels-Alder Skid: Continuous reactor (1-10 L/h) for bio-aromatics/precursor production on multi-kilogram per day scale. More info on this skid, can be found here.
Interested to test samples of bio-aromatics in your applications?
Earlier, Biorizon sent out a call for participation to attract companies that are willing to test samples in their applications. Several companies from all over Europe have responded to this call and Biorizon is currently discussing the results with these companies.
If you are interested in testing samples of bio-aromatics in your applications, discussing the desired characteristics and sharing the results with Shared Research Center Biorizon, please contact Roger Blokland via roger.blokland@tno.nl of +31 (0)6 11 27 60 55.

Samples
Thanks to Biorizon’s high-quality facilities, specialized knowledge, years of experience and the successful involvement of the entire bio-aromatics value chain, we manage to produce bio-aromatics continuously (on a kg/h scale). We are currently validating our continuous processes and working with industry partners toward the next stage: demonstration. This makes Shared Research Center Biorizon the most advanced and valued research program in sustainable bio-aromatics worldwide. We offer the chemical industry an excellent platform to make the transition to a circular bio-economy.
Do you want to contribute to our mission to enable commercial production of bio-aromatics by 2025? Come and join us! Take a look at Biorizon's samples, and reach out to our business development managers for more information.
