Converting Biomass to Chemicals and Energy

Converting Biomass to Chemicals and Energy: Viable and practical solutions for the complete beneficiation of cellulosic material.

IFT has solid technical expertise in the bio-renewables space. Since the 1970/80s, its engineers, scientists and project professionals have been involved in the biomass-based chemical industry (furfural/sugar, ethanol, pulp & paper, etc.) and in electricity generation from direct combustion.  Our experience covers R&D, production and projects and we operate globally (e.g. Africa, India, Australia, South and Central America, USA/Canada, Switzerland, Emirates, China and Russia).

FOUR PILLARS: Exceptional & experienced team members • Professional and technical competence • Passionate about biobased chemicals, especially furfural • Focused on delivering practical solutions (that have a socio-economic impact)

We offer a proprietary, custom-made approach for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into value added products, with a special focus on furfural and its many by-products. We share our vast technical and project implementation knowledge base (technology, trade secrets, etc.) and intellectual capital (e.g. market, products, technology, CAPEX and OPEX data) under a fee-for-service agreement e.g. for scoping studies, viability assessments, diagnostic studies, project development plans, process design packages, pre-feasibility studies, bankable feasibility studies, marketing & sales plans and business plans. We structure the agreements in accordance with the required scope of works and in the context of the business relationships.

It is very green, as long as you turn it into value-added products (like furfural or Hydrogen/Biochar), as opposed to just burning it! A very good question! .. .. that is attributed to Jane Marsh in an article published by BioEnergy Consult asked. Jane
100 years ago, the first commercial production of furfural started in the USA.
Schematic illustration of lignocellulose (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.chemrev.7b00395) After Ethanol, Furfural is the second oldest commercially produced initial platform chemical (IPCs) made from lignocellulose.
