Abstract:
    This invention relates to an apparatus for the processing of pre-hydrolysis of biomass, particularly a reactor of the failsafe type, either mobile or not, which may be manufactured of microbonded carbon steel and coated with special materials (refractory metals, superalloys, stainless materials, plastics, etc.). The insertion of vacuum between the shell of the reactor and its coating prevents its implosion and permits the detection of leakage with helium gas. The resistance to corrosion of the refractory metals enables carrying out of pre-hydrolysis and mineral digestion. In the process of this invention, biomass is compacted at 300 kg/m
