Process developed at the lab bench scaled up to pilot plant capacity
Agritechnology
has strong expertise in the final stage of industrial microbiology
: the engineering scale-up of the
microbiological process to commercial production capacity.
This can be very technically complicated and requires an understanding of heat, mass and gas transfers, product isolation and their variation during commercial scale-up.
Agritechnology has an in-depth understanding of the physical limitations of the micro-organisms it is working with and this is key in developing an economic scale-up.
With its track record and experience, Agritechnology has confidence in achieving on the tonne scale, what it can achieve on the gram scale: its focus is on scalability from the test tube onwards. This takes away one of the risks on the path to commercialization.
Agritechnology's advantages lie in the experience and knowledge of its staff, and how best to use the tools at its disposal. This adds up to an understanding of the key critical parameters for bioprocess scale-up.
Incorporated from the early stages of research and then scale-up is a well-defined costing and economic modelling process. This helps to direct development and inform resourcing decisions.
