3. Background: history in sugar industry;
Active with projects in the field of:
> sustainable agriculture;
> food processing;
> BBE = Bio-Based Economy;
> technology development, like Betaprocess;
Large network free lance specialists / expertise
and assembly partners, like VAM BV / WUR –
ACRRES, UCR, UWM and others.

4. Farmer to industry: tell me which crop to grow?
Chemical Industry to farmer: tell me which
molecule/functionality you are able to supply?
 DSD is the linking pin and concept developer
between both industries and getting familiar with
the issues in that chain.

6. The ideal Biobased crop for:
1. Bulk chemicals  commodity chemicals, low added value;
2. Fine chemicals  small quantities, relatively high prices and “what it is”
specification:
• building blocks;
• advanced intermediates;
• active ingredients;
3. Specialty chemicals  specialties, effect chemicals, high value added to functional
value, agrichemicals, essential oils, food supplements, ingredients for cosmetics
and pharmacy.
 Act as intermediates, significant ingredient in food, feed, pharma and cosmetics!

9. 3.3 Betaprocess
Components of a Betaprocess installation:
Storage tank, including pumping unit;
Heat Exchanger;
Vacuum tank, including condensation unit;
Cooling Tower;
Automation (control unit).
Functional activity of Betaprocess:
Washing, cutting and crushing of organic material (<5mm);
Heat exchanger brings biomass to 60o to 70oC;
Opening of plants cells by vacuum extrusion: “explosion” of cells and fibers;
After Betaprocess, material is ready for further processing.

12. Advantage in using Betaprocess Technology for Green Chemicals:
Processing of crops such as sugar beet, but also rest- and by-products such as fruit
products, corn kernels, potato peels, French fries waste, etc.;
Higher yield EtOH;
Fermentation easier, in shorter time and without enzymes;
10 – 20% lower investment costs;
Cost price attractive and LCA very positive.
Tested (proved by):
Ecole d’ingenieurs de Changings (Mr. Serge Hautier - Switzerland);
Wageningen University & Research – FBR and ACRRES (the Netherlands);
University College Roosevelt (the Netherlands);
Demonstration plant by ACRRES (part of WUR), Lelystad (the Netherlands);
University of Warmia and Mazury , Olsztyn (Poland).

13. EtOH 78%
purity
Sugar beet:
1 ton = 100 litre EtOH

14. 14

15. Feedstocks: Sugar beet (200 days), corn kernels (100 days);
Supplier: 750 farmers (22.500 HA, distance 10 – 20km);
Capacity: 2.000 ton/day biomass;
Location: the Netherlands;
Suppliers/Logistics: Sugar beet farmers;
Customers: Food grade and local technical ethanol users (f.e. ethylene
oxide);
Key partners (concept – R&D – BD – M&S):
DSD, Wageningen University / ACRRES, TechnipFMC.

16. Feedstock price: € 25 / ton;
Transport costs: € 4,5 / ton;
Food grade Ethanol price: € 0,80/litre;
Technical Ethanol price: € 0,50/litre;
Products: Food grade bioethanol + technical ethanol
(53.000 m3/year);
By-products: CO2 (39.000 ton/year),
Animal feed (71.000 wet ton/year, 12% dry
matter);
CO2 price: € 50 / ton;
Animal feed price: € 100 /dry ton.

 CAPEX: € 65 million (food grade and technical);
 OPEX: € 22,5 million /year (incl. € 18 million feedstock);
 Revenue: € 42,3 million /year;
 Gross profit: € 19 million /year;
 Net profit: € 7,5 million / year;
 Interest rate: 6%;
 Discounted Payback: 5 years (without subsidies);
 Market potential: 5 - 10 plants in the Netherlands;
 Employment: 28 direct, 40-50 indirect.

18. Direct processing is very attractive (as well for the farmer as the factory);
Example = 2.000 ton/day but design is also possible for 7.500 ton/day;
Attractive price paid to farmers (net – income);
Not only for ethanol but also for other green chemicals (future);
For the Government: following RED implementation (Carbon footprint, CO2
reduction);
No crop so efficient in fixation of CO2 and production of oxygen then sugar beet;
Sugar beet in crop rotation = perfect.
18

19. Benefits, by using sugar beets and Direct Processing with
Betaprocess, of the Biobased industry:
Environmental benefits;
Minimize waste, proper recycling and disposal of products;
Economic independence (less import, so more €/$ internal);
More jobs (rural areas, but also in processing);
Reduced expenses (cradle to cradle).
19

20. Direct processing: starting point for
using sugar beet as raw material for
the chemical industry and as crop for
the most attractive circle economy
model.
