Solaris^® Direct Steam Injection (DSI) Hydroheaters play a key role in biochemical pretreatment processes.  Solaris sufficiently hydrolyzes and opens up the structure of lignin-based biomass feedstocks to allow efficient and effective enzyme hydrolysis of the hemicellulosic sugars.  

Demanding pretreatment methods typically involve a wide range of difficult process conditions – medium consistency feedstocks, high temperature rises, rapid heat transfer, high pressures and low pH.

Solaris^® is ideal for medium consistency feedstocks  The straight-through patented design of the Solaris is ideal for thick slurries and high fiber content common to a wide variety of biomass feedstocks.  Solaris utilizes internally modulated high velocity steam which eliminates clogging and plugging.
