FRAUNHOFER CENTER FOR CHEMICAL- BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES CBP The Fraunhofer Center for Chemical-Biotechnological Pro- Research focus cesses CBP in Leuna develops and scales up chemical and bio- Obtaining high-quality extractives from biogenic raw and technological processes for the utilization of renewable and residual materials petrochemical raw materials – from upstream processing of Pulping of lignocellulose, separation and use of its raw materials and several conversion processes to separation and downstream processing of transformation products. Thus, Fraunhofer CBP closes the gap between the lab and industrial implementation: By making infrastructure and plants (pilot scale and miniplants) available and by providing high-qualiied personnel, the center makes it possible for cooperation part- components to make further products Development of processes to obtain new technical enzymes Functionalization and modiication by enzymatic or chemical catalysis Manufacturing of biobased alcohols, acids and oleins ners from research and industry to scale up biotechnological using fermentation and chemical processes and chemical processes for the utilization of renewable raw Cultivation of microalgae for the production of high- materials right up to production-relevant dimensions and to accelerate process developments. quality ingredients Technology and expertise Processing of raw materials – integrated pilot plant for pulping and fractionation of lignocellulose Biotechnological processes – modular process units up to 10 m3 reactor volume for fermentations and reactors for enzymatic processes up to 1000 liters Contact Fraunhofer Center for Cultivation of microalgae in automated greenhouse and Chemical-Biotechnological Processes CBP outdoor pilot plants, with a total volume of photobioreactors of 11.7 m3 Chemical processes – various process units for chemical reactions under ATEX conditions (continuous up to 20 kg / h or batch up to 100 liters at temperatures up to 500°C and pressures up to 300 bar) Downstream processing for separation, puriication and reconditioning of products, e.g. by distillation or extraction methods Am Haupttor | Tor 12, Bau 1251 06237 Leuna | Germany Fax +49 3461 43-9199 | www.cbp.fraunhofer.de Dipl.-Chem.
