The Fermentation Plant houses 20 fermenters ranging from 20L to 15,000L, along with associated downstream processing equipment. The facility is used to develop, optimize and scale biological processes to assist customers in the deployment and commercialization of novel technology.
The facility has been in operation for over 30 years and has worked with a broad range of organisms and processes. The facility is important, as most companies cannot afford to develop this equipment or expertise in-house for a process under development.
