Bioprocessing, Valorization and Technology Transfer

We develop innovative bioprocesses based on:

• Current scientific knowledge in enzymology and industrial microbiology.
• The use of microorganisms for various applications, including bioremediation, the production of value-added compounds and the valorization of industrial by-products.
• Screening the native microbial biodiversity of the St. Lawrence River for commercial applications.

We develop processes for the transformation of various biomasses, involving the generation, purification and drying of extracts rich in value-added compounds by:

• Applying “green” processes, generally without organic solvents.
• Promoting circular economy principles by valorizing process by-products.

We specialize in developing scalable processes for the production and transformation of various biomasses in order to:

• Optimize industrial processes.
• Diversify biomass processing lines.
• Improve biomass procurement and conditioning stages.

• Grinders and crushers.
• Extraction tanks (100–1,000 litres).
• Various liquid-solid separators.
• Ultrafiltration units.
• Various dryers (spray dryer, freeze dryer, etc.).
• Incubators, bioreactors, Cedex Bio, microorganism drying line.
• Technology transfer centre capable of hosting production lines with pilot-type equipment.
• Rental laboratory with production space.
• Rental of pilot production equipment.
