Biochemical Manufacturing Plant

Partager sur

Our client are a process technology licensing company, founded as a spin-out from Imperial College London. They strive to develop leading manufacturing technologies by using a combination of traditional chemistry and biochemistry approaches, to meet customer requirements for lactic acid and polylactic acid (PLA) production.

capabilities

Our client’s aims are to enable partners to produce high value, renewable chemicals and ingredients, using feedstock of low value waste and industrial by-product streams. Our clieent therefore required the construction of a pilot plant, which would enable scale up of the laboratory process for proof-of- concept and would also improve manufacturing flexibility to maximise and optimise investment return.

Our Solution

Bouygues Energies & Services developed an innovative Design & Build solution for the pilot plant, based on modular process. Comprising of seven separate equipment skids, this design allowed for portability and also ease of expansion if necessary. The modular skids and vessels were prefabricated, prewired and pretested within our prefabrication facility in Knowlsey, Liverpool.

Based on our design and specifications, the pilot plant enabled a predictive scale up, to proof different stages of the process including; esterification, evaporation, bioreactors and distillation under ATEX rated conditions. As a result, the facility is designed and built to accommodate a wide variety of feedstock and produce bio-based chemicals, meeting client project proposals.
