Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant
Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant
Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, located in Ghent, is a unique, independent, open innovation state-of-the-art pilot and demonstration facility for process development, scale-up and (trial) production of bio-based products and processes, from laboratory to multi-ton scale.
A wide and flexible spectrum of modular unit operations combined with the experience of highly competent engineers and technicians enables the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant to translate biobased lab-scale innovations into viable cost-effective industrial processes. Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant enables the conversion of renewable feedstocks into biochemicals, biomaterials, biofuels and other bioproducts by using technologies such as biomass pretreatment, biocatalysis, (gas)fermentation, green chemistry and product recovery and purification.
Since its establishment in 2008, the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant has grown into a mature organisation employing 170+ dynamic and engaged staff members. Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant successfully conducted more than 600 bilateral (private) projects with over 200 different small, medium and large sized companies. Along with private, bilateral projects, Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is currently involved in many consortium-based projects.
