The Sarnia-Lambton region's dominant economic activities have historically been based in agriculture, energy, and the chemical industries. There has been a significant regional effort recently to utilize the local industrial and agriculture capacity to attract bio-industrial companies to establish a unique "Biohybrid and Chemistry Cluster" to take sustainable feedstock, such as agricultural products and wastes, and turning these renewable resources into value-added chemicals and energy. Many established regional or newly attracted bio companies are SMEs lacking R&D capabilities. In direct alignment with the region, Lambton College as an only local post secondary institution is establishing a suite of comprehensive applied research and development service points that will form the "Bio-industrial Process Research Centre (BPRC)". The BPRC goal is to support the bio-industry with applied research, technological development, and knowledge transfer by providing research facilities, laboratories, students, and faculty support. Through BPRC, Lambton College will collaborate with industrial partners to conduct applied research in the areas of: a) bio-process design and development, b) bio-process instrumentation and automation c) process optimization, and d) pilot plant construction and testing. The initiative has attracted nine projects in partnership with eight regional and provincial SMEs. The BPRC will also benefit from close partnerships with colleges, universities and local economic development organizations in the bio-industry value chain including Bio-industrial Innovation Canada, Sarnia-Lambton Economic Development and Sustainable Chemistry Alliance to develop more projects, bring new and improved technologies to market and consequently generate economic impact in our community and beyond. The BPRC will also provide an excellent opportunity to educate highly qualified personnel for new bio-industry sector and develop courses for the new Bio-Industrial Engineering Technology program at Lambton College.

Sarnia-Lambton地区的主要经济活动历史上一直以农业，能源， 和化学工业。最近有一个重大的区域努力，利用当地的工业 和农业的能力，以吸引生物工业公司建立一个独特的“生物杂交和化学 集群”采取可持续的原料，如农产品和废物，并把这些可再生 资源转化为增值的化学品和能源。 许多已建立的区域或新吸引的生物公司是缺乏研发能力的中小企业。直接 与该地区保持一致，兰顿学院作为唯一的本地中学后机构正在建立一套 综合应用研究和开发服务点，将形成“生物工业过程 研究中心（BPRC）"。BPRC的目标是通过应用研究、技术和创新来支持生物产业。 通过提供研究设施、实验室、学生和教师， 支持. 通过BPRC，兰顿学院将与工业合作伙伴合作，在 领域：a）生物工艺设计和开发，B）生物工艺仪表和自动化c）工艺 优化，和d）中试装置的构建和测试。该倡议吸引了九个合作项目 8家省级和省级中小企业。BPRC还将受益于与大学的密切合作， 生物产业价值链中的大学和地方经济发展组织，包括 加拿大生物工业创新，Sarnia-Lambton经济发展和可持续化学 联盟开发更多项目，将新的和改进的技术推向市场，从而产生 对我们社区和其他地区的经济影响。BPRC还将提供一个极好的机会， 为新的生物产业部门培养高素质的人才，并为新的生物产业开发课程 兰顿学院的工程技术课程。
