Biorefinery

Our aim is to develop mild fractionation and separation processes that enable us to obtain a plethora of valuable biomolecules from biomass (e.g. microalgae, seaweed and agri-food residues). By taking cell disentanglement, mild extraction/separations, process design and product functionality into account we are developing multi-product biorefinery concepts with a positive economic value and ecological impact.
Our mission
Research and development of new biorefinery and separation technologies and apply these on a variety of (fermentative) biomasses, thereby producing new products.
