Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016012701A1] The invention relates to a method for producing organic molecules from fermentable biomass, which includes a step of anaerobic fermentation (5) producing volatile fatty acids (6), said precursors being transformed into final organic molecules by non-fermentation means. The method also includes at least the following steps: a) extracting (9) at least one portion of the volatile fatty acids from the fermentation medium such that the production of fermentation metabolites by the microorganisms (M) is not affected and injecting a portion of the liquid phase (11) containing microorganisms from the extraction (9); b) synthesising (13) organic molecules from the fermentation metabolites or volatile fatty acids extracted in step a); and c) continuing steps a) to b) until obtaining a final amount and quality of organic molecules. The invention also relates to a facility for implementing the method.
