Weyland has developed a unique technology that enables production of bio-ethanol from cellulose containing materials which are not suitable for food, so called second-generation bioethanol.
Weyland’s process is based on concentrated acid hydrolysis. The uniqueness of the Weyland process is that more than 98.5% of the acid are recovered and recycled, thus making the process economically viable and environmentally superior.
The concentrated acid process enables the use of a wide variety of biomass, including timber harvesting residues, corn stover, sawdust, paper pulp, switchgrass, etc.
