All Projects

BioCluster
  • AO-NIB, Biomaterials, Bioplastics, Biosurfactants, Bulk chemicals, Finished projects, Lubricants, Partner, Personal and home care, Polymers and packaging and biomaterials, Process development, Regional-flanders, SME support, Solvents, Specialty chemicals, VLAIO/AO, Value chain building

The main goal of the project is to facilitate the transition of the Flemish industry to a sustainable, biobased economy by building a competitive biocluster of companies that are able to build new value chains.
The project is primarily aimed at companies from the agro-industry, technology developers and the chemical sector.

Industrial biotechnology plays a crucial role in the development of sustainable and cost effective production processes for biobased chemicals. These processes typically consist of two distinct unit operations: fermentation, followed by purification of the compound of interest from the fermentation broth. Product recovery and purification (also called downstream processing or DSP) are important cost factors, responsible for up to 80% of the total production cost. Reducing DSP cost is therefore a key success factor to improve the overall economics of biobased processes.
