RISE LignoDemo, also called LignoCity, is a flexible production plant of tailor-made lignin grades in large enough quantities for upscaling. Lignin has the potential to be used in a wide range of final applications, from biofuel and bioplastics to adhesives, paint and carbon fiber.
LignoCity is a technical infrastructure available to all companies looking to evaluate and verify new concepts for refining lignin. The production capacity can reach up to several kilotons of lignin/year and the establishment consists partly but not limited to:
- Equipment for precipitating lignin from black liquor.
- Band-press filter and filter press for cleaning and dewatering.
- Pump-loop with a powder distributor and a tank with heating and stirring abilities.
- Equipment for odor reduction in kraft lignin.
Here at RISE LignoCity companies can develop, and scale up, technology for separating and refining lignin with the use of newly developed and eco-friendly chemicals, fuels and materials.
