Sponsored by our partners, including Statoil and Innovation Norway, Weyland has built a pilot plant with a capacity equivalent to approximately 200,000 liters ethanol output per year.
The Pilot plant was officially opened in October 2010, and we have since then demonstrated that the Weyland process related to the recovery and recycling of the acid works as intended.
The purpose of the pilot plant is to verify and document the unique features of the process, and to demonstrate the commercial viability of the technology.
The pilot plant also serves as a platform to scale the technology towards commercial size plants, and is well suited to run comprehensive experiments with different types of feedstock in semi industrial scale.
