BIOIMPULSE Project

Project
Objectives

The main objectives of the BioImpulse project:

• Create a new adhesive resin without SVHC compound, with a better impact on health and the environment,
• Develop on an industrial scale a production process by fermentation of a molecule of interest at a cost lower than its oil equivalent,
• Promote new adhesive resin technology in the automotive and construction markets (wood, in particular),
• Produce this resin in small, compact and decentralized installations, as close as possible to customers, reducing its complexity and implementation costs.

The originality of this project is to integrate a large part of the value chain: from the biological production of the molecule, to the application performance of the resin.

Eco-design (in particular via production by fermentation, with the possibility of supplying 2G biomass – Non-competing with food) will be at the heart of the project, in order to take into account health, environmental and economic aspects.

CRITT Bio-Industries
Contribution

CRITT Bio-Industries is in charge of developing a complete purification process for the biosourced molecule of interest produced by fermentation.

• Study of different separation/purification techniques: development and development of a chain of unit operations to achieve the desired specifications (studies of different unit operations, screening of industrial membranes, etc.);
• Sequence of unit operations on pre-industrial equipment (scale-up, yields, purities, flows);
• Optimization of chaining and obtaining/transfer of pre-sizing data (yields, purities, flows, etc.);
• Production of batches at different degrees of purity for application tests.
