PILOT PLANT STATION
TEST FACILITIES
At our newly built site in Rheinbach we operate a state-of-the-art biotechnology center and fermentation laboratory. In these we test and improve technological concepts for special biological and process challenges.
We operate the biotechnical center, among other things, in order to transfer results from the laboratory in the so-called “scale-up” to a larger scale.
We offer a range of services for our customers, from contract fermentation for the production of product samples to the optimization of existing processes:
- Technology transfer and process evaluation
- Scale-up/scale-down trials
- Process Development
- Pilot scale fermentation experiments
- Filtration tests / Module selection
- Mixing tests / Stirrer tests
- Experiments on oxygen transfer
- Purification / Downstream processing
- Test of innovative bioprocess equipment
- Optimization of control strategies
