In 1980s, St. Lawrence Technologies Inc. (SLT, as a partner in the Bio-Hol joint venture) in Canada, collaborated with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in the USA and the Swedish Ethanol Development Foundation, developed a two stage hydrolysis process called the CASH process (Canada, America, Sweden Hydrolysis) at pilot plant scale for the conversion of wood feedstock to ethanol (O'Boyle et al., 1991). In the first stage of the process, TVA used the Sunds Defibrator to prehydrolyse pine wood chips under mildly acidic conditions. The pretreated material was then hydrolysed in the SLT plug flow reactor to convert cellulose to glucose. The yield of the conversion from cellulose to glucose exceeded 50%, which was close to the theoretical yield in dilute acid hydrolysis (Malester et al., 1992).

Dans les années 1980, la société St. Lawrence Technologies Inc.(SLT, partenaire de la co-entreprise Bio-Hol), établie au Canada, a collaboré avec la Tennessee Valley Authority(TVA), aux États-Unis, et la Swedish Ethanol Development Foundation, afin de mettre au point un procédé d’hydrolyse en deux étapes, appelé procédé «CASH»(d’après le nom donné au procédé en anglais, soit Canada, America, Sweden Hydrolysis), applicable à l'échelle pilote pour la conversion des matières ligneuses en éthanol(O’Boyle et al., 1991). Dans la première partie du procédé, la TVA a utilisé la défibreuse Sunds pour pré-hydrolyser des copeaux de pin en milieu légèrement acide. La matière prétraitée passait ensuite dans un réacteur à écoulement piston SLT où la cellulose était hydrolysée en glucose. Le rendement de cette conversion dépassait 50 %, ce qui est proche du rendement théorique de l'hydrolyse à l'acide dilué(Malester et al., 1992).

Le Tennessee [la rivière Tennessee] doit ses hautes eaux d’hiver et de printemps aux pluies et neiges de la partie appalachienne de son bassin. Il aggravait l'irrégularité du régime de l'Ohio [la rivière Ohio] avant son aménagement entrepris au temps du New Deal par la Tennessee Valley Authority. La vallée a été transformée en un escalier de lacs par une trentaine de barrages, à la fois centrales et écluses qui produisent plus de 20 TWh et permettent à la navigation de remonter jusqu'à Knoxville [...]. 3, record 2, French, - Tennessee%20Valley%20Authority
