System development

Our system development capabilities 

Processing biomass to generate or purify specific products normally requires the development of some form of biological, chemical or physical system.  This can be a genetically modified microbe, a conventional processor or a novel technology system.

We have the facilities to allow businesses and other organisations to develop new  technological systems in partnership with our technical teams.  This includes state-of-the-art molecular biology and microbiology facilities as well as a Flexi Hall that provides access to plug and play utilities including steam, compressed air, vacuum and a range of water grades.  Our open-access facilities mean that a broad range of physical and chemical processing technologies can be developed in collaboration with our customers to accelerate innovation development.
