Bio production

Pre-Inoculation Steps Determination and optimization of an adaptive co-metabolic and symbiotic bio-products system to achieve both, hemicycle A (carboxylation/oxidative stage) and hemicycle B (decarboxylation/reductive stage), and of the sequence and timing of events in terms of bio-products inoculation to accomplish the RACDC.

The present chapter focuses on process options integrated in a biorefinery scheme that should yield bio-products at a more competitive market price and quality. Although bioconversions are essential steps to derive the platform molecules that are used subsequently for catalytic transformations, only chemo-catalytic process will be examined. Selected examples of catalytic conversions illustrating different process options will be given.

In the longer term, biomass crops can also be genetically modified to serve as carriers for other bio-products, such as biopolymers. 

Another example where metabolic pathway engineering has made a dramatic impact is in the biodegradable polymer field. One of the most widely studied polymers in this family is poly-P-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) (64). A related member of the poly-P-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) family commercialized by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), which later became Zeneca Bio Products,...

In September 2004, Novamont acquired the Eastar Bio technology of Eastman Chemical for an undisclosed sum. The deal includes all patents and technology rights but not production facilities or distribution channels. Eastman introduced its biodegradable polymer in 1997 and since then has invested more than 75m in the project. The resin is used commercially for single-trip disposable packaging, as well as for barrier films and waste-bin liners. Eastman has a 15,000 tonnes per annum production plant at Hartlepool in the UK, which was started up in 1999, for production of Eastar Bio products. 

The three most prominent global suppliers of synthetic biodegradable polymers are BASF, Novamont, which acquired Eastman Chemicals Eastar Bio product portfolio in 2005, and DuPont.

Several research projects have investigated the application of gradient SMB processes (Abel et al., 2002 Abel et al., 2004a). A special focus in this context has been on the separation of bio-products, such as the separation of proteins by ion exchange (Houwing et al., 2002 Wekenborg et al., 2004).

It is anticipated that micro-instrumentation will allow for effective evaluation and eventual use of continuous processes in areas where batch approaches have been traditional. The expected impact of this will be significant on energy savings and in environmental and productivity aspects of commercial processing. The areas where this will show early benefits are in pharmaceuticals, but it is envisioned that biotechnology will incorporate the advantages of continuous processing. This will have a broad impact on medicinal bio-products as well as biochemical and biofuel production. 

The recovery of bioactive materials from the fermentation broth is generally complicated by the fact that the bio-products are in very low concentration in these often unstable, non-newtonian systems. The downstream processing is a key area for further development of biotechnology. Membrane technologies and particularly UF,MF and RO can be considered as broad core technologies in this industrial segment (1).
