How Process Technology Can Accelerate Sustainable Protein Commercialization

Pilot results help make the case for a factory, but they can leave expensive questions unanswered. Adham Rizk, Sales & Commercial Manager at Bühler Group, will discuss how to use piloting and process design to test the assumptions behind commercial production. He will examine opportunities to improve efficiency through continuous fermentation, faster cell growth and the use of side streams, alongside the practical demands companies can underestimate when planning a plant.

What you’ll take away:

• Which scale-up assumptions to test before committing to commercial equipment.
• How to plan pilot work that informs production design and investment decisions.
• Where continuous fermentation and faster cell growth could improve manufacturing efficiency.
• How using side streams and connecting production steps could improve resource use and economics.
• What to look for when assessing whether a process is ready for commercial deployment.
