Driving innovation in algae based biorefineries for sustainable functional ingredient production.
From lab to pilot scale, we design and optimise biorefinery processes that transform microalgae and seaweed biomass into high value ingredients, including pigments, proteins, peptides and polysaccharides. Our goal is to create functional ingredients for nutraceutical, cosmetic, agricultural and feed applications.
We develop eco efficient extraction and fractionation processes, combining high pressure homogenisation, enzymatic hydrolysis, membrane filtration and other advanced techniques. We aim to maximise ingredient recovery, improve process efficiency and support circular use of biomass fractions.
We bridge the gap between research and industry through the optimisation and pilot scale validation of algae biorefinery workflows. Our work ensures
process scalability, preservation of bioactivity and the development of ingredients aligned with the goals of the blue bioeconomy.
We offer advanced services for processing algal biomass and developing sustainable biorefinery solutions.
Our Biorefinery Lab combines advanced equipment and multidisciplinary expertise to process algal biomass from laboratory to pilot scale. The facilities include high-pressure homogenisers, membrane filtration units, centrifuges, enzymatic hydrolysis reactors, and spray dryers, supporting efficient extraction, fractionation, and purification of high value algal ingredients through sustainable processes
