Jenike & Johanson Secures Patent for Jen-Zero™ Biomass Feeding Solution

Jenike & Johanson's Jen-Zero™ technology has been patented, specifically targeting the reliable feeding of low-density biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) into high-pressure reactors. The system employs a unique diverging pressurization geometry, facilitating a natural flow of materials and mitigating issues like flow instability and 'springback.'

Capable of processing up to 1,000 tons per day, this solution eliminates the need for energy-intensive pre-processing methods like grinding or pelletizing. By enhancing uptime and reducing maintenance, Jen-Zero™ supports improved efficiency in biofuel and waste-to-energy operations. This advancement could significantly aid in achieving carbon-negative fuel production and further global sustainability initiatives.
