YOUR APPLICATION, YOUR ENZYME APPROACH
What is your intended conversion route?
Biofuel projects need an enzyme treatment that fits the downstream process. For fermentation, discuss the carbohydrate fraction you want to release and the organism you plan to use. For anaerobic digestion, describe your feedstock mixture, pretreatment and the process measurements you will use.
Assess the whole process, not just biomass breakdown
Changes in viscosity or soluble material can be useful observations, but they do not establish a fuel yield improvement on their own. Evaluate enzyme-treated biomass against a suitable control and measure the outcome of the actual downstream conversion step.
Define the conversion
Tell us whether your route involves fermentation, anaerobic digestion or another conversion process.
Measure your outcome
Plan measurements of substrate conversion and final fuel or gas output alongside processing observations.
Seaweed enzymes and blends.
Available in bulk.
We have panels of hundreds of high-activity enzymes designed to break down different components of seaweed’s complex structure. Speak to Scientific & Technical about a tailored enzyme or blend for your feedstock, process and required bulk quantity. Our current seaweed enzyme range is non-food grade and is not supplied for food or feed use.
