Project partners and further information www.bioconsept.eu IGB for the enzymatic production of epoxides using an im- mobilized enzyme to convert second-generation plant oils, including plant oils from waste flows. Closing the gap between the laboratory and industrial practice In 2014, BioConSepT will select the two most promising pro- duction processes for scale-up in order to generate product quantities of the order of 100 kg to 1000 kg. Conversion of the selected processes from laboratory to industrial scale will take place in the multifunctional facility of the Fraunhofer CBP in Leuna. In this way, BioConSepT should help to further reduce the gap between laboratory and industrial practice for the production of chemicals from biomass. 2 4 1 Second-generation raw materials are to be converted into valuable chemicals. 2 Fermentation of Candida in a 42-liter bioreactor. 3 Candida cells and formation of dicarboxylic acid (DCA) from oleic acid methyl ester (OME).
