This new application can be administered completely by artificial Intelligence or manually while utilizing the artificial intelligence platform enabling cost savings. This new artificial intelligence application is a breakthrough in that it is based on highly accurate data which leads to learned behaviors of micro-organisms. This data is applied to accurate management and elimination of threats from micro-organisms to people, plants and animals using biosurfactants. This new cost-efficient AI conveyor belt micro-organism application gets us closer to understanding what lurks around us.

An alcohol production system that produces alcohol by alcoholic fermentation using a saccharide solution, including an alcoholic fermentation vessel in which the saccharide solution is fermented by adding yeast to produce alcohol, which is an organic feedstock, and a biomass-hydrothermally-treated-product adding means that adds a biomass hydrothermally-treated product obtained by hydrothermally treating a biomass feedstock to the alcoholic fermentation vessel. The alcohol production system can improve alcoholic fermentation efficiency and realize cost reduction without adding only a mineral salt from outside.

The invention relates to a cell culture bottle for adherent cells (e.g. human mesenchymal stem cells), comprising: a vessel; an internal cylinder, which has an internal Archimedes screw; an internal central tube, through which liquid can flow; and at least one wall arranged around the central tube. This arrangement provides an enlarged inner surface for the growth of the cells and for the reliable mixing of the fluid. The cell culture bottle is formed as a single piece and can be simply and economically produced as a disposable device by means of additive manufacturing.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and compositions for the pretreatment of biomass within seconds with low inhibitor formation. The pretreatment process is used to convert biomass to a fuel or other useful chemicals by subjecting the feedstock to a rapid retention time under pressure and temperature and/or chemical reactant. The system includes a continuously-operating valve discharge apparatus to discharge pretreated feedstock while maintaining uniform pressure on the pretreatment system.

A system and a method for treating biomass with a gas includes at least one conduit having at least one biomass inlet and at least one biomass outlet, at least one gas inlet and at least one gas outlet. The system further includes a transport unit configured to move the biomass through the conduit from the at least one biomass inlet to the at least one biomass outlet thereby defining a biomass transport direction. The system is configured such that gas flowing from the at least one gas inlet to the at least one gas outlet crosses the biomass transport direction.

Disclosed herein are a microalgae harvesting apparatus and method. The microalgae harvesting apparatus includes: a gantry crane including traveling towers configured to move along traveling tracks extending along lengthwise directions on both sides of an arrangement of microalgae incubators, a jib installed in the widthwise direction of the traveling towers, a hoist installed on the jib, and a crossbar configured to be selectively lowered and elevated by the hoist; a plurality of harvesters installed to form an N×M array in widthwise and lengthwise directions with respect to the crossbar, and provided with respective doors in the bottom surfaces thereof; a conveyor means configured to move along a lengthwise direction at a height between the microalgae cultivators and the harvesters; and a control panel configured to control the operations of the microalgae harvesting apparatus.

An apparatus and a method for composting organic material. The apparatus comprises a container (10) having a first end (11), a second end (12) in the form of a hemispherical wall, and a jacket (13) extending between said ends. The container operates in an inclined (al) position. A transporting and mixing device (30) in the container transports organic material in a transport direction (L1) from the first to the second end and simultaneously mixes the organic material. The transporting and mixing device directs the organic material towards the hemispheric wall, whereby the organic material is first directed upwards along the hemispheric wall and then turned back against the transport direction. A fluffing device (40) in the container comprises a shaft (41) being perpendicular to the transport direction (L1) and cutter blades (50) extending outwards from the shaft (41).
