Also, the biomass hydrolysis time can be reduced. Overall, the process is more efficient, consumes less enzyme and results in higher product concentrations.
- a multistage hydrolysis process which is performed in a plurality of hydrolysis vessels.
- a plurality of hydrolysis reactions are performed in parallel, and after conclusion of such parallel performed hydrolysis reactions, a transfer of components takes place in such a manner that solid fractions and liquid fractions are moved from one hydrolysis vessel to another in opposite directions.

- Such a multi stage hydrolysis process in a plurality of hydrolysis vessels, involving the repeated transfer of solid fractions and liquid fractions in opposite directions is sometimes herein also referred to as "continuous counter current enzymatic hydrolysis".
- What is removed at the back-end are the remains of the solid fractions which have been digested by the enzyme(s).
- What is removed at the front-end is an aqueous solution containing dissolved sugar(s), mainly in the form of glucose and xylose, resulting from the digestion of the cellulosic biomass by the appropriate enzymes.
- This aqueous sugar solution is then subsequently used for further downstream processing purposes.

- all solid fractions move up one position by one hydrolysis vessel, and the first hydrolysis vessel is filled/replenished with fresh, i. e. enzymatically undigested cellulosic biomass.
