First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for creating an energy product from the cellulosic fraction of biomass, which comprises the steps of:
- adding biomass to a sealable reaction vessel;
rotating said reaction vessel while adding steam at 15 psig or less to said biomass; and
separating a cellulosic fraction of the treated biomass from other fractions of the treated biomass to thus form a combustible energy product.
