Abstract: An apparatus, for the steam explosion treatment of biomass, having a pressurized reactor vessel to receive a biomass material and steam, discharge lines connecting the pressurized reactor vessel to the separation device, the lines sized and positioned to allow for the steam explosion of biomass material. At the outlet end of the discharge lines is a collection-expansion manifold to connect the outlet end of each of the discharge lines to a collection line, wherein the collection line provides a passage for biomass material and steam flowing from the discharge lines. The collection line passage has a substantially larger cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of a single discharge line. The collection line is coupled to a separation device such that the separation device receives the biomass material and steam from the collection line.

Abstract: A system for washing processed biomass and removing dissolved solids from the biomass including: a pre-hydrolysis reactor vessel having an outlet to discharge a biomass slurry, wherein the pre-hydrolysis reactor vessel is operated at conditions that promote hydrolysis of the biomass; a retention tank receiving the biomass slurry discharged through the outlet of the pre-hydrolysis reactor vessel, wherein the retention tank receives recovered wash liquid and is configured to dilute the biomass slurry in the tank with the recovered wash liquid and discharge diluted biomass slurry, and a drain device including a biomass slurry inlet receiving the discharged diluted biomass slurry from the retention tank, a solids outlet to discharge concentrated biomass slurry, and a liquid drain to discharge liquid extracted from the discharged diluted biomass slurry, wherein the liquid drain is in fluid communication with the retention tank such that the discharged liquid flows to the retention tank.
