Onsite fermentation of food & drink sidestreams in added value products
CEO at Niskus Biotec
Letterkenny, Ireland
About
Seeking food and drink partners to pilot and scale modular, on‑/near‑site biorefineries that upcycle brewing side streams into valuable products and cleaner process water. The goal is to validate unit economics, quality, and compliance quickly, then replicate across sites.
The challenge
-
Wet spent grain, yeast, and liquid side streams are typically hauled offsite at low value, adding logistics, storage, and water costs while hurting ESG metrics.
-
Variable specs, patchy traceability, and uncertain offtake stall investment despite growing sustainability expectations and margin pressure.
Our solution
-
A capex‑ and opex‑light, smart, modular piloting platform located where upcycled bioprodcuts are generated.
-
Fast, data‑rich pilots to prove commercial viability, quality, and regulatory readiness on your actual streams.
-
Clear pathways to scale: on‑/near‑site build‑outs, customizable business models
Example products we produce
-
Brewing performance enzymes: beta‑glucanase/xylanase for faster lautering and better filterability; alpha‑amylase/glucoamylase for higher extract and adjunct flexibility; ALDC to reduce diacetyl and free tank time; targeted proteases for clarity and stability.
-
Protein‑rich microbial biomass: high‑nutritional fungal or yeast biomass for aquafeed and poultry, plus food‑grade formats such as high‑protein flours, texturized proteins, and savory extracts.
-
Cleaner process water: integrated treatments that reduce load, support reuse goals, and cut disposal costs.
What we offer
-
Rapid feasibility assessments using your side streams.
-
On‑site or near‑site pilots with production‑grade data and QA/QC.
-
Tech packages and playbooks for replication across multiple plants.
-
Access to our partner ecosystem and service providers.
What we seek
-
Brewery and distillery partners ready to run pilots on representative side streams.
-
Corporate sustainability and operations teams seeking scalable circular solutions with clear ROI.
-
Buyers and distributors for enzymes, protein biomass, and related outputs.
