Scaling services in biotechnological processes






SAV pilot plant
Scaling services in biotechnological processes






SAV's bioprocess demonstration plant provides scale-up services for the development of biotechnological processes.

The plant has a biotechnology laboratory and a pilot plant (TLR 6-7) with the equipment necessary (stirred reactors, bioreactor, fermenter, filtration units and centrifuges, distillation units, etc...).

SAV's team has experience in semi-industrial scale optimization of bioprocesses and within the framework of Circular Economy.

The OPTIFANGS project develops a tool called Agroresources that allows to calculate an estimate sufficiently accurate the agronomic and environmental composition of WWTP sludge through the measurement of the NIR fingerprint. This allows to model the behavior of the sludge in different conditions and to optimize its dosage in agricultural soils. In this way, the tool allows to take decisions for the dosage almost in real time.

BIOPLA logo

The BioPla project studies the production of bioplastics based on polylactic acid (PLA) from rice straw. The project studies the possible hydrolytic pretreatments of rice straw and its subsequent fermentation, to carry out its conversion into lactic acid. In addition, the polymerization of this lactic acid into PLA is studied.

GO CHAMPLAST is a circular economy project that promotes the reduction and valorisation of waste from the mushroom sector. The project produces compostable film to replace the fossil-based plastic film currently used in mushroom cultivation and produces advanced char from post-cultivation substrate to be used as a fertiliser to improve agricultural soils.

BioSupPack logo
BioSupPack aims to deliver versatile and competitive bio-based packaging solutions by upgrading the production and enzymatic recycling of PHA-based solutions, using beer spent grains as feedstock units. The project aims to establish a new value chain including the development of logistics and management of both brewery and packaging waste.
