Industrial bio-processing solutions - finding value in waste
It is generally accepted that the future of manufacturing will be dependent on efficient use of materials - creating more value, from less. This workshop discussed new and emerging technologies in bio-processing which are being utilised to convert waste biomass into high value added products.
This workshop included
- Real world successes and activities by speakers from industry who are utilising new technologies.
- An example of an SME's journey in bio-processing.
- Capabilities of researchers investigating the feasibility of new bio-processing methods.
- Key trends in the design for bio-processing manufacturing systems.
- Capabilities of existing pilot scale reactors within Victoria.
