Ultrasonic Biorefinery Processes

Sonichem's ultrasonic biorefinery technology offers a sustainable method for converting low-value woody biomass, such as sawdust, into high-value green chemicals. By utilizing ultrasonic waves, the technology breaks down the chemical bonds in the biomass, efficiently liberating cellulose, sugars, and lignin. This process requires significantly less energy compared to conventional methods, resulting in a lower carbon footprint. Additionally, the technology ensures zero waste, as all the biomass is upcycled into pure platform chemicals with no co-products or impurities.

The high-quality green chemicals produced through Sonichem's process have a wide range of applications, including the creation of sustainable packaging and materials. The use of non-food woody biomass, sourced from forestry and agricultural by-products, further enhances the sustainability of the process. By optimizing the use of natural resources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, Sonichem's ultrasonic biorefinery technology contributes to the global effort to combat climate change and promote a circular economy.
