Bioprocess engineering
Biotechnology is focusing the efforts in providing sustainable and competitive solutions for fuels, chemicals and materials using renewable bio-based feedstocks.
Biotechnology offers many possibilities for new medical therapies, pharmaceuticals, bio-molecules, and other important bio-based products.
The opportunities of using bio-chemical processes emerged from new scientific and engineering developments, increased availability of new enzymes and modified microorganisms for specific tasks, and form industrial requirements.
The advantage of the bio-based processes is that they follow the principles and metrics of green chemistry and sustainable development.
At KT Consortium we have expertise with following:
- Biotech /biopharmaceutical processes
- Downstream processes for bio-based manufacturing (such as crystallization, chromatography, evaporation, distillation, among others)
- Bio-catalysis
- Fermentation (pure culture and mixed-cultures processes, scale-up)
- Biorefinery processes (pre-treatment and hydrolysis, conceptual design, supply chain analysis, etc.)
Many of our projects are in direct collaboration with industry
