Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2622967A1] The method comprises providing plant residue having a shell portion (90 wt.%), partially hydrolyzing constituents of the plant residue including carbohydrate, fat and/or protein, and separating liquid phase into dissolved components and solid phase. A suspension is provided for the hydrolysis of the plant residue in a solvent such as water (40 wt.%). The hydrolysis is performed at a temperature of 30-38[deg] C and performed with addition of enzymes, acid or base having a pH of 5.5 and inoculant microorganisms. The method further comprises washing, sterilizing and drying the solid phase.

The method further comprises washing, sterilizing and drying the solid phase. The liquid phase is transferred as an energy-rich liquid for a biogas plant. An independent claim is included for a system for processing plant residue.
