Abstract
The Aquasolv®-Technology is a new process, using only water under special thermo-dynamical conditions, so called subcritical state, to receive natural raw materials and fine chemicals from plant-biomass, especially ligno-cellulose. The renunciation of additional chemicals causes different ecological and economical advantages in processing and quality of received raw materials, but also a great advantage in combination with the use of solar energy to generate thermal process-energy. Because of using only pure water as a solvent, the heating up of the solvent can be directly supported by thermal solar energy plants. So it is possible, to connect the reactor-system of the Aquasolv®-Process directly with solar energy technique, more or less without heat exchangers and thus without greater losses through limitation of the technical efficiencies. Additional, the ecological as well as economical side can be economized by using biological rests and residues, which are insufficient used in Central Europe or lead even to problems in waste-management. Reducing the business activities to regional concepts which means, small plant scales and minimized transportation, such industrial concepts could be of greater interest in future, while managing the internal industry to a path, more independent of crude oil.
