Lignopura Agrotech Pvt Ltd is a R&D driven company which has a major focus on the development of economically viable advanced green technologies for processing of renewable lignocellulosic biomass into value added products such as pulp, lignin, biofuel, and chemicals. The company has developed indigenous non-catalytic patented Lignopura technology for delignification of lignocellulosic biomass and effectively separated cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in pure form. Our technology is capable of handling all types of lignocellulosic raw materials such as hardwood, softwood, agricultural, herbaceous & forestry biomass (e.g. bagasse, straw, corn stover, grasses, etc).
In its continuous thrust on research, Lignopura work on further conversion of
i. Cellulose into paper and dissolving grade pulp, glucose, bio-ethanol, bio-acetic acid, etc.
ii. Lignin into various chemicals and carbon fiber.
iii. Hemicellulose into xylose, bio-ethanol, xylitol, bio-acetic acid, furfural, lactic acid, other value added chemicals.
