Bio-Based Chemical Purification

High performance purification and production processes

Solutions for your Bio-Industrial Products

Expertise

For more than 40 years, we have been developing and constantly innovating to offer cost-effective, reliable and high performance purification and production processes based on cross-flow filtration, chromatography and ion exchange/adsorption technologies.

Customized Solutions

We are flexible and adapt to our customers' requirements in terms of quality, design and construction. Our engineers design customized units, equipment or systems ideally suited to your facilities and specific process needs. We supply the production plant or purification system to the customer’s required scale and transfer the process.

From purification process development to turnkey production units

The services provided with our systems include:

• Feasibility studies
• Process development, scale-up, optimization and validation
• In-house or customer site piloting
• Custom design and engineering
• Qualification, installation and commissioning
• Start-up and training
• Performance guarantee
• Customer/after sales services (maintenance contracts, spare parts)

Combined Technologies

Thanks to our strong expertise and our large technological portfolio, we provide global and integrated solutions by:

• combining processes such as chromatography, membrane filtration, ion exchange and adsorption, catalytic reactions, electrodialysis ...
• integrating evaporation, crystallization, concentration and storage of the final product.

Multiple Applications

We have developed numerous processes for bio-based chemistry.

Complete turnkey plants for antibiotics production (Cephalosporin C, Erythromycin, Penicillin) have been delivered, including all necessary purification steps (clarification, purification, concentration, evaporation and crystallization...).

Technologies

We own a unique palette of technologies: ion exchange, chromatography, evaporation/crystallization, adsorption, filtration solutions, electrodialysis and enzymatic conversion which have been developed for bio-industrial productions.

We offer reliable mineral membranes and a wide range of ion exchange resins for your bio-based chemical purification and production.

By the multiplicity, diversity and complexity of the projects handled, we have acquired great expertise and knowledge and are capable of offering a high level of service and assistance to our customers.

Our expert process development services mainly include:

• Process development
  Resin/adsorbent selection, determination of resin practical operating capacity, optimization of process parameters (laboratory scale, pilot trials)
   
• Design and supply of industrial plants
  Down-flow co-current/counter-current systems, up-flow compact/counter-current systems, mixed-bed and stratified-bed systems, batch and continuous ion exchange and adsorption systems, effluent-free processes, regenerant recovery, water recovery systems, valorization of by-products.
