Abstract
A method for preparing a plant derived product or a process intermediate or a process input, the method comprising the steps of providing a plant derived starting material, subjecting the starting material to a forward osmosis step against a draw solution so as to produce a plant material concentrate, and subjecting the draw solution to a water removal step. The water removal step may include further forward osmosis in combination with an evaporator system.
Claims10
A method for solid and water recovery from pre-processed plant waste material, comprising the following steps:
- subjecting the pre-processed plant waste material through a forward osmosis system against a draw solution to produce a dilute draw solution and a wet solid rich fraction;
- wherein the wet solid rich fraction is further used as organic matter;
- processing the dilute draw solution through a reverse osmosis system to produce clean water and a recharged draw solution;
- subjecting the clean water to a filter to produce potable water;
- returning the recharged draw solution back to a forward osmosis filter;
- and
- wherein heat energy from the pre-processed plant waste material is captured from the forward osmosis step.
