PROCESS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE BIOECONOMY
CORVAY BIOPRODUCTS
Innovative bioprocesses for the bioeconomy
Corvay Bioproducts was founded in Halle at the end of 2018 and is now based in Cologne on the BioCampus. The founding team of former board members and managing directors from the chemical industry has excellent global knowledge of both the markets for biotechnologically produced specialty chemicals and bioprocess engineering. The company specializes in the development of innovative bioprocesses and their scaling up to pilot, demonstration and production scale. It has know-how, patents and production processes for the biotechnological production of long-chain dicarboxylic acids, in particular 100% bio-dodecanedioic acid (DDDA), an attractive raw material for the plastics, adhesives, coatings and perfume industries.
Competencies – uur trilogy for your success
Many years of experience in biotechnical production
We have experience from the production of many 1000 tons of industrial enzymes, organic acids, fragrances and flavourings.
Biotechnical and chemical process engineering from a single source
We have been developing processes for fermentation, enzymatic or cellular bioconversion and subsequent processing and product purification for decades, using the combined knowledge of biotechnologists and chemists.
Holistic approach
We consider the complete cycle of a process, including the consumption of raw and auxiliary materials, water, energy and the generation of residual materials, and advise our customers on how to optimize their carbon footprint and life cycle in line with the circular economy.
Processes
Long-chain dicarboxylic acids
Corvay Bioproducts has acquired patents and production strains as well as process protocols for the production of long-chain diacids from vegetable fatty acids and has developed and filed patents for further proprietary know-how for processing and purification. The company is looking for strategic partners or investors to scale up the processes to pilot and demonstration scale.
