Title: Compatibility of High-Moisture Storage for Biochemical Conversion of Corn Stover: Storage Performance at Laboratory and Field Scales

Abstract

Here, wet anaerobic storage of corn stover can provide a year-round supply of feedstock to biorefineries while reducing the risks associated with fire loss and microbial degradation. Aerobic and anaerobic storage methods were evaluated for wet corn stover in 100L laboratory reactors. Of the methods evaluated, traditional ensiling resulted in <6% total solid dry matter loss (DML), about 5 times less than the aerobic storage process and slightly less than half that of the anaerobic modified-Ritter pile method. To further demonstrate the effectiveness of the anaerobic storage, a field demonstration was completed with 272 dry tonnes of corn stover; DML averaged <5% after 6 months. Assessment of sugar release as a result of dilute acid or dilute alkaline pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis suggested that when anaerobic conditions were maintained in storage, sugar release was either similar to or greater than as-harvested material depending on the pretreatment chemistry used.

Techno-Economic Assessment of a Chopped Feedstock Logistics Supply Chain for Corn Stover

Journal Article Wendt, Lynn M. ; Smith, William A. ; Hartley, Damon S. ; ... - Frontiers in Energy Research

Storing corn stover in wet, anaerobic conditions is an active management approach to reduce the risk of significant aerobic degradation and catastrophic loss due to fire. An estimated 50% of the corn stover available in the U.S. is too wet at the time of harvest to be stored safely in baled formats and is compatible with wet, anaerobic storage through ensiling. A fully wet, bulk logistics system based on field-chopping and particle size reduction early in the supply chain removes the dependency on field-drying of corn stover prior to baling, allowing for an expanded harvest window and resulting in diminishedmore »« less

Chemical and Structural Changes in Corn Stover After Ensiling: Influence on Bioconversion

Journal Article Nagle, Nick J. ; Donohoe, Bryon S. ; Wolfrum, Edward J. ; ... - Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

Production of biofuels, bioproducts, and bioenergy requires a well-characterized, stable, and reasonably uniform biomass supply and well-established supply chains for shipping biomass from farm fields to biorefineries, while achieving year-round production targets. Preserving and stabilizing biomass feedstock during storage is a necessity for cost-effective and sustainable biofuel production. Ensiling is a common storage method used to preserve and even improve forage quality; however, the impact of ensiling on biomass physical and chemical properties that influence bioconversion processes has been variable. Our objective in this work was to determine the effects of ensiling on lignocellulosic feedstock physicochemical properties and how thatmore »« less

1.2.1.1 Harvest, Collection and Storage Quarter 3 Milestone Report

Technical Report Wendt, Lynn M. ; Smith, William A. ; Cafferty, Kara G. ; ...

Single pass baling of corn stover is required in order to meet targets for the herbaceous biomass 2017 logistics design case. Single-pass pass stover harvest is based on the grain harvest and generally results in stover with a moisture content of 30-50% wet basis (w.b). Aerobic storage of corn stover with high moisture results in high levels of dry matter loss (DML), up to 25%. Anaerobic storage (ensiling) reduces DML to less than 5%, but additional costs are associated with handling and transporting the extra moisture in the biomass. This milestone provides a best-estimate of costs for using high moisturemore »« less

Evaluation of a high-moisture stabilization strategy for harvested microalgae blended with herbaceous biomass: Part I—Storage performance

Journal Article Wendt, Lynn M. ; Wahlen, Bradley D. ; Li, Chenlin ; ... - Algal Research

Algal biomass is becoming increasingly attractive as a feedstock for biofuel production. However, the swing in algal biomass production between summer and winter months poses a challenge for delivering predictable, constant feedstock supply to a conversion facility. Drying is one approach for stabilizing algal biomass produced in excess during high productivity summer months for utilization during low productivity months, yet drying is energy intensive and thus costly. Wet, anaerobic storage, or ensiling, is a low-cost approach that is commonly used to preserve high moisture herbaceous feedstock. The potential for microalgae stabilization without the need for drying was investigated in thismore »« less

Effects of Storage Moisture Content on Corn Stover Biomass Stability, Composition, and Conversion Efficacy

Journal Article Smith, William A. ; Wendt, Lynn M. ; Bonner, Ian J. ; ... - Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

Variable moisture content of biomass during storage is known to compromise feedstock stability, yet a great deal of uncertainty remains on how to manage or mitigate the issue. While moisture contents above 20% risk unacceptable losses in aerobic feed and forage storage, no quantitative relationship exists between corn stover moisture content and rates or extents of degradation for bioenergy use. This work quantifies the relationship between initial moisture content of aerobically stored corn (Zea mays L.) stover biomass and dry matter loss through time. Corn stover with 20% to 52% moisture was stored under aerobic conditions in laboratory reactors whilemore »« less
