Group specialized in all the steps of a bioprocess based on microalgae

We are available to join a project proposal to any european call.

We offer our expertise in the following topics:

• Industrial exploitation of microalgae for fine chemicals and food/feed ingredients (PUFAs, antioxidants, and other biomass fractions) (FI).

• Use of different effluents a nutrient sources for growing microalgae.

• Photobioreactor (PBR) engineering and scale up (including anti-biofouling materials).

• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for equipment improvement.

• Downstream and biorefinery-based production strategy.

• Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TCA) of microalgal processes.

• Production of high value lipids for food ingredients / bioactives (Long chain PUFA concentrates from marine oils; Polar lipid concentrates from microalgae oils, Tailored lipids by enzyme technology from vegetable / marine oils)

• Development bioactivity-based screening programs for biodiscovery.

• Bioprocess development for marine dinoflagellates and non-conventional microalgae for reference standards and medical research.
