Bioindustrial Process Research Centre (BPRC)

生物质是加拿大S化工的未来。基于生物的产品正在通过整合可再生的生物原材料来创新一系列产品，从而重新定义工业和消费产品。生物基化学品是这一日益增长的产品创新部门的关键部分，因为它们代表着未来生物基产品所需化学构件的发展。基于坚定的社区方向，承认萨尼亚-兰姆顿S天然适合持续发展，以实现经济多元化和建设新的产业集群，萨尼亚-兰姆顿生物混合和化学集群于2007年成立，以融合和巩固碳氢化合物和生物基础经济的优势。兰布顿学院(LC)作为该地区唯一支持该集群的教育和应用研究机构，成立了生物工业过程研究中心(BPRC)。BPRC是一项非常成功的倡议，通过刺激经济发展和向区域内外合作伙伴转让技术，成为成功建设集群的关键因素。在过去的9年里，BPRC大幅增加了为中小企业提供的项目和服务的数量(4年为研究中心，5年为研究小组)，并在帮助区域集群建设倡议方面发挥了至关重要的作用。在这个阶段，有必要加强BPRC作为技术获取中心(TAC)的提议，以支持和发展这一研究中心，以提供更广泛的服务。

Biomass is the future of Canada s chemical industries. Bio-based products are redefining industrial and consumer products by integrating renewable, biological raw materials to innovate a wide range of products. Bio-based chemicals are a key part of this growing sector of product innovations, as they represent the development of the chemical building blocks needed for future bio-based products. Based on strong community direction that recognizes Sarnia-Lambton s natural fit for ongoing developments to diversify the economy and build a new industrial cluster, a Sarnia-Lambton Bio-Hybrid and Chemistry Cluster was established in 2007 to merge and build on the strengths of the hydrocarbon-based and bio-based economies.Lambton College (LC) as the only education and applied research provider in the region to support the Cluster established the Bioindustrial Process Research Centre (BPRC). The BPRC has been a very successful initiative and become a critical factor in successfully building the Cluster through stimulating economic development and technology transfer to the partners located in the region and beyond. The BPRC has significantly increased the number of projects and services to SMEs in last 9 years (4 years as the Research Centre and 5 years as a research group) and has a vital role in helping regional cluster building initiative. The proposed enhancement of the BPRC as a Technology Access Centre (TAC) is necessary at this phase to support and grow this research center to provide a wider range of services.
