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.

萨尼亚-兰布顿地区的主要经济活动历来以农业、能源和化学工业为基础。最近，区域努力利用当地的工业**和农业能力来吸引生物工业公司建立一个独特的“生物混合和化学**集群”，以获取可持续的原料，如农产品和废物，并将这些可再生**资源转化为增值化学品和能源。**许多建立起来的区域或新吸引的生物公司都是缺乏研发能力的中小企业。兰伯顿学院作为当地唯一一所专上院校，与该地区直接**保持一致，正在建立一套**全面的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的目标是通过提供研究设施、实验室、学生和教师**支持，通过应用研究、技术**开发和知识转移来支持生物产业。**通过BPRC，兰伯顿学院将与行业合作伙伴合作，在以下**领域开展应用研究：a)生物过程设计和开发，b)生物过程仪器和自动化c)过程**优化，以及d)中试工厂建设和测试。该倡议吸引了9个项目**与8个区域和省级中小企业建立伙伴关系。BPRC还将受益于与生物产业价值链上的学院、**大学和当地经济发展组织的密切合作伙伴关系，包括**加拿大生物产业创新、Sarnia-Lambton经济发展和可持续化学**联盟，以开发更多项目，将新的和改进的技术推向市场，从而在我们的社区和其他地方产生**经济影响。BPRC还将提供一个绝佳的机会，**为新的生物工业部门培养高素质的人才，并为兰布顿学院新的生物工业**工程技术项目开发课程。
