This Partnership for Innovation project from SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry will improve and enhance the technology for Hot Water Extraction (HWE) to carefully and completely deconstruct wood. The process that is being developed and applied will sustainably and cost effectively extract highly valuable carbohydrate and chemical assets from wood fiber. The enhanced technology that will result from this research will facilitate the development of valuable bioproducts that increase the rate of commercial implementations. These HWE derived bioproducts will replace similar products which are made from less sustainable and by less efficient means both in the U.S. and abroad. The wood fiber (and its constituent asset elements that will be the focus of this project) is currently primarily being burned for energy. In addition to the production advantages of HWE technology, the production of these products within the forested economic regions where industry needs them will reduce transportation costs and environmental impacts. The broader impacts of this project will accelerate the building of capacity and skill to strategically locate, engineer, design, fabricate equipment, and build facilities to efficiently and cost-effectively make products from existing raw materials; frequently on existing underutilized sites. Further, the partners will gain significant technical expertise and market advantage in understanding how to enhance the HWE process for these carbohydrate and chemical products. The broader impacts of this research extend to all forested regions of the U.S. The Knowledge Enhancement Partners are the lead academic institution , the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and three small for profit business: 1) Applied Biorefinery Sciences, Syracuse, New York, Dr. Joel Howard; 2) Highland Engineering, Glens Falls, New York ( Mr. Patrick Sullivan, and 3) Miller Mechanical Services, Glens Falls, New York , Ms. Elizabeth Miller. RockTenn is a large for-profit forest products business and a non-KEP partner; the liaison is Dr. Jose Iribarne at the Solvay, NY facility.

SUNY环境科学与林业学院的创新项目合作伙伴关系将改进并增强热水提取技术（HWE），以仔细而完全解构木材。正在开发和应用的过程将可持续地从木纤维中提取高价值的碳水化合物和化学资产。这项研究将产生的增强技术将有助于开发有价值的生物产品，从而提高商业实施率。这些HWE衍生的生物产品将取代由较低的可持续性和在美国和国外效率较低的手段制成的类似产品。目前，木材纤维（及其成分资产元素将成为该项目的重点）目前主要是为了能源而燃烧。除了HWE技术的生产优势外，这些产品在行业需要的森林经济区域内的生产将降低运输成本和环境影响。该项目的更广泛的影响将加速能力和技能的建设，以战略性地定位，工程师，设计，制造设备和建造设施，以有效，成本效益地从现有的原材料中生产产品；通常在现有未充分利用的站点上。此外，合作伙伴将在理解如何增强这些碳水化合物和化学产品的HWE过程方面获得重要的技术专长和市场优势。这项研究的更广泛影响扩展到美国的所有森林地区，知识增强伙伴是主要的学术机构，纽约州纽约州环境科学与林业学院，三个小型盈利业务：1）应用生物融资科学，纽约，锡拉丘兹，纽约，乔尔·霍华德博士； 2）高地工程，纽约格伦斯瀑布（Glens Falls）（帕特里克·沙利文（Patrick Sullivan）先生和3）米勒机械服务，纽约格伦斯瀑布（Glens Falls），伊丽莎白·米勒（Elizabeth Miller）女士。 Rocktenn是一家大型营利性森林产品业务，也是一个非基于的合作伙伴。联络人是纽约州Solvay的Jose Iribarne博士。
