Non-Pressurised Pre-Treatment, Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Frementation of Waste Fractions
First Claim
1. A process for the production of fermentation products from mono- and/or polysaccharide containing waste fractions having a dry matter content above 20% involving subjecting said waste fractions to:
- non-pressurised pre-treatmentenzymatic hydrolysisfermentationwherein non-pressurised pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis are carried out in a single vessel or similar device using free fall mixing for the mechanical processing of the waste.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for production of fermentation products, including bioethanol by non-pressurised pre-treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of waste fractions containing mono- and/or polysaccharides, having a relatively high dry matter content. The process in its entirety, i.e. from non-pressurised pre-treatment over enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation to sorting of fermentable and non-fermentable solids can be processed at a relatively high dry matter content in a single vessel or similar device using free fall mixing for the mechanical processing of the waste fraction.
