Comparison of Different Fermentation Configurations
As discussed earlier, there are many fermentation configurations, and the efficiencies of these configurations can depend on several factors such as microorganism used, operating conditions, pretreatment, and the type of biomass used. A few studies reported comparisons of various fermentation configurations [141-143,7,144,150]. In one example of a comparison of different
fermentation configurations, Maria Lopez-Abelairas and coworkers reported the ethanol yields from corn stover under various pretreatments and fermentation configurations; some of the data and references are shown in Table 8.8. [150,151].
