Explore an industrial project for fluid treatment in plant-based biotechnology, highlighting advanced process technologies and scalable solutions. Practical insights for sustainable bioactive ingredient processing.
Plant-based biotechnology has emerged as one of the most dynamic segments within the natural ingredients industry, driven by demand for bioactive compounds, sustainable processes and high quality standards. In this environment, process design, industrial filtration and fluid management are essential to scale biotech developments from laboratory to industrial production.
This project results from collaboration with a leading international company specialized in producing high-value plant-derived bioactive ingredients, with Perinox acting as the technological partner for process line design and implementation.
A Comprehensive Biotech Process Project.
The objective was to develop a liquid fraction treatment line capable of ensuring control, stability and efficiency throughout the production process, from initial fermentation stages to final product conditioning.
The implemented solution included:
- Storage and fermentation tanks designed for controlled, repeatable process conditions.
- Microfiltration systems aimed at phase separation and obtaining liquid fractions with specific functional properties.
- Integrated pasteurization processes to ensure microbiological safety while preserving bioactive compound activity.
- Filling lines adapted for high-value, sensitive formulations.
This entire system was conceived as a coherent unit, with fluid treatment as the central process element.
Cleanliness, Automation and Operational Reliability.
A critical factor was integrating an automated CIP (Cleaning in Place) system designed to meet biotech hygiene requirements. This system allows:
- Repeatable, validated cleaning cycles.
- Reduced water and chemical consumption.
- Increased operational availability and process safety.
Full automation provides continuous control of critical parameters, enabling traceability, industrial scalability and adaptation for future process expansion.
Technology for Sustainable Biotechnology.
This project demonstrates how advanced process technologies, industrial filtration and automation are key enablers for plant-based biotechnology at industrial scale. The partnership between a leading sector company and a specialized technological provider turned a complex process challenge into a robust, efficient solution aligned with sustainability principles.
