Upscaling of a fermentation process for PHB production
- 2021 – 2022
PROJECT SCOPE
- Demonstration of a process for the production of PHB (polyhydroxybutyrate) using biowaste as feedstock, including:
- Feedstock conditioning
- Enzymatic hydrolysis
- Hydrolysate recovering
- Detoxification
- Fermentation
- Biomass separation
- Purification
- Compounding
- Production of two prototypes
CENER ROLE
- Project coordination
- Plant operation up to fermentation stage:
- 1st stage upscaling to PILOT plant – 100 -200 L
- 2nd stage upscaling to DEMO plant: 1.000-3.000 L
- Monitoring of the process and data recording of relevant parameters.
