Conversion of biomass feed-stocks to polyols of short-chain carbohydrates

Here are some demos to try out LIBPF®:

The purpose of the polyols from biomass LIBPF® process model is to simulate the process for the conversion of biomass feedstocks to polyols of short-chain carbohydrates.

The process scheme is based on IPCI process type 3:
