Thursday, May 5, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO and DELFT, Netherlands, May 5, 2022  /PRNewswire/ -- DAB.bio, pioneers in biomanufacturing fermentation technology, today announced successful fermentation runs in their FAST (Fermentation Accelerated by Separation Technology) bioreactor, demonstrating that the technology lowers the unit cost of fermentation-based production at scale. Using FAST to produce fermented compounds promises to enable higher market shares for biobased ingredients used in everyday products, thereby reducing societies' dependence on fossil-based chemicals.

Key Points: 
  • FAST dramatically increases fermentation performance and lowers product costs by continuously removing product from the fermenter.
  • By increasing fermentation-based production by up to tenfold, the technology reduces production costs by 50% and promises to drive higher margins for bio-products worldwide.
  • These runs demonstrate how DAB.bio's game-changing fermentation technology, which can be scaled up quickly and easily, transforms the economics of bio-manufacturing.
  • Its FAST fermentation technology is the only biomanufacturing platform to enable continuous production in large markets.
