Abstract
A system and method for a reactor-based biomass processing comprising: detecting a biomass input, comprising: detecting the biomass type, detecting the biomass quality, comprising detecting the biomass composition including the biomass moisture content, and detecting the biomass quantity; determining an optimized end-product, wherein the end-product is at least partially based on: a selected production target, the biomass input, and on local conditions; and producing the end-product, comprising: monitoring reaction conditions, configuring the reactor for the output production, based at least partially on biomass input, wherein configuring the reactor includes adjusting an oxygen flow rate into the reactor, and implementing a biomass decomposition.
Claims14
A method for a reactor-based biomass processing comprising:
- over a network of bioreactors, for each bioreactor, detecting a biomass input, comprising:
- detecting the biomass type,
- detecting the biomass quality, comprising detecting the biomass composition including the biomass moisture content, and
- detecting the biomass quantity;
- determining an optimized end-product, wherein the end-product is at least partially based on:
- a selected production target, the biomass input, and on local conditions at the location of each bioreactor;
- and
- producing the end-product, comprising:
- monitoring reaction conditions,
- configuring a reactor of the network of bioreactors for the output production, based at least partially on biomass input, wherein configuring the reactor includes adjusting an oxygen flow rate into the reactor,
- and implementing a biomass decomposition;
- wherein the method is implemented over the network of bioreactors such that determining the optimized end-product for each bioreactor is dependent on the network of bioreactors as a whole, and each bioreactor is individually configured to produce an end-product based on the network-wide determination.
