BIOMASS REACTOR
A biomass fractionator and method are described for inputting ground biomass and outputting several vapor streams of bio-intermediate compounds along with syngas and biochar. In one embodiment, a method for biomass fractioning, comprises dispensing biomass into thin sheets of ground biomass; subjecting the thin sheets to ramps of temperature; and selectively collecting various groups of compounds as they are released from the thin sheets.
1 . A system of biomass reaction compartments for carrying ground biomass from station to station in a biomass fractionator, the system comprising a disc having one or more chambers.
2 . The biomass reaction compartment of claim 1 , further comprising smooth or coated top surface to accommodate seals between stations.
