Bio-based chemicals

Product range

All the pieces you need to optimize your bio-based chemical production.

We’re experts at examining the individual aspects of your process with an eye to optimizing the whole. And our wide selection of equipment and engineered solutions provide the right answers to your questions.

 

Choosing the right equipment

A few important considerations:

  • Is your process based on yeast or bacteria? 
  • How fibrous is your feedstock? 
  • What’s the ratio between liquid and cell? 
  • How will you remove impurities?
  • How much does your steam cost?

Centrifugal separationCentrifugal separation - an ideal option for every process

It’s crucial to the success of your production to matching the right  equipment with the specifics of:

  • Your process
  • Your organism selection
  • Your feedstock
  • Your fermentation medium 

We offer high-speed separators and decanter centrifuges to suit every possible combination of circumstances and requirements.
