Beginning with physical separations and progressively moving to more aggressive thermochemical hydrolysis and steam thermolysis operations, NPT\u2019s staged process incorporates certain enhancing technologies which improve yields through avoiding premature cell degradation. Each fraction of the full slate of fuel precursors and platform chemicals produced is at a high level of purity, suitable for onward processing.<\/p>\n<p>The company says that it has IRRs of over 40% achievable at the medium term target scale of 200 tonnes (green) biomass per hour (roughly equivalent to 5,000 bbl\/day oil equivalent).
