This juice extracting method is a juice extracting method for cellulosic biomass in which a juice extracting process is performed after crushed cellulosic biomass has been subjected to a prescribed pre-treatment, wherein the pre-treatment includes an immersing and agitating process of immersing the cellulosic biomass in dilution water, and agitating the same using a fluid.
The present invention is a waste fluid treatment apparatus (A) for treating waste fluid generated by compressing specific plants and is provided with a separating means (8) for separating suspended solids from the waste fluid and generating a separated liquid, and a methane-fermenting means (9) for methane fermentation of the separated liquid. The separating means (8) is a combination of a centrifuge device (80) and a pressure flotation separation device (82).
The present invention is a waste liquid treatment device for treating liquid palm-oil waste generated when palm oil is produced using palm fruit as a raw material, wherein the waste liquid treatment device is provided with a suspended-solid separation means for separating suspended solids from the liquid palm-oil waste by a solid-liquid separation process, and a methane fermentation reactor for carrying out methane fermentation on the palm-oil waste liquid from which suspended solids were separated by the suspended-solid separation means.

Abstract
In this cellulose-based-biomass squeezing method, a cellulose-based biomass is crushed, further subjected to prescribed preliminary processing, and subsequently squeezed. The preliminary processing includes: water-addition processing in which water is added to the cellulose-based biomass; and leave-to-stand processing in which the cellulose-based biomass, having been subjected to the water-addition processing, is left to stand for a prescribed time.

Abstract
This fuel production method uses, as a starting material, a wooden biomass including a sugar solution as sap, and is provided with: a squeezing step in which the sugar solution is squeezed from the wooden biomass; a methane fermentation step in which methane fermentation processing is performed using, as a fermentation starting material, the sugar solution obtained in the squeezing step; and a strained lees fuel conversion step in which a biogas obtained in the methane fermentation step is used to convert, into a solid fuel, strained lees obtained in the squeezing step.
This plant processing system comprises: a plant cultivation facility (1) that cultivates plants that include a sugar solution; a crushing facility (2) that crushes the plants that have been cleared by the plant cultivation facility (1); a juicing facility (3) that harvests sap from plant chips obtained by the crushing facility (2); a methane fermentation facility (5) that facilitates methane fermentation of the sap; and a power generation facility (6) that generates power using the biogas obtained by the methane fermentation facility (5) as fuel.

Abstract
This liquid fuel production method has: a saccharification step in which a biomass is saccharified; a methane fermentation step in which a saccharified liquid obtained in the saccharification step undergoes methane fermentation; and a BTL (Biogas to Liquid) step in which a liquid fuel is generated from the biogas obtained in the methane fermentation step.
