Biorefinery

A biorefinery is capable of producing and isolating refined materials from organic (agricultural) feedstocks. Biorefineries gain efficiency by integrating multiple refinement processes into a series of processes in a single location so the feedstock can be completely processed with minimal transportation and without duplicating chemical treatments.
