Newton Bhabha Industrial Waste BIOREVIEW

BIOREVIEW是英国和印度工业界和学术界之间的生物精炼合作项目，旨在开发新的工业生物技术(IB)工艺，以从印度制糖业的废液中生产附加值产品。试点规模(TRL 4-6)IB解决方案将处理足够数量的甘蔗渣(SCB)和废洗渣(SW)，以通过开发生物产品组合展示可行的经济机会和废物管理选择。这包括展示用于农业、食品和制药部门的高价值挥发性脂肪酸(VFAS)、木糖醇和微晶纤维素(MCC)的生物生产。与传统制造相比，可扩展的IB工艺提供了更好的环境可持续性选项，并使用膜技术来增加产品价值，同时还采用了一种新的高生产率IB工艺，用于从SCB生产木糖醇。提供经过验证的综合生物精炼工艺设计，对其经济、社会和环境效益进行评估，将为印度甘蔗行业制定多样化战略和投资计划，以便从废液中商业生产这些商品。

BIOREVIEW is a biorefining collaboration between industry and academics in UK and India that aims to develop novel industrial biotechnology (IB) processes to produce value added products from waste streams of the Indian sugar industry. The pilot scale (TRL 4-6) IB solutions will process sugar cane bagasse (SCB) and spent wash (SW) at sufficient quantities to demonstrate viable economic opportunities and waste management options through the development of a bio-product portfolio. This involves demonstrating bio-production of higher value volatile fatty acids (VFAs), xylitol and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for the agri, food and pharmaceutical sectors. The scalable IB procedures offer improved environmental sustainability options over conventional manufacture and use membrane technology to increase the product value alongside a novel high productivity IB process for xylitol production from SCB. Delivery of a validated integrated biorefining process design evaluated for its economic, social and environmental benefits will inform diversification strategies and investment plans of the Indian sugarcane industry for commercial production of these commodities from waste streams.
