Description
Problem solved
The generation of industrial waste and the lack of efficient solutions for its valorization hinder the transition to a more sustainable economy. BIOTECH addresses this need with a modular platform that combines advanced simulation, digital twin, and bio-extraction technologies to transform residual streams into valuable resources, optimizing processes and reducing environmental impact.
Equipment
- Analytical waste laboratory for comprehensive characterisation (UV-visible spectrophotometers, IR spectroscopy, Soxhlet system, ion chromatography and gas chromatography, optical and electron microscopy, ICP-OES, SEM-EDX, XRD, TGA-DSC)
- Flexible CSTR fermentation pilot plant with MBR membrane coupling (50 L)
- Concentration and purification equipment: filtration systems at various scales (micro-, ultra- and nano-filtration), membrane distillation and electrodialysis (ED, EDR and EDBM), solid/liquid separation, sonication, evaporators/crystallisers, extraction systems
Services
- Design and validation of processes for the recovery of industrial waste and by-products, both organic (biorefinery) and inorganic
