5 November 2020
最准的六合彩论坛 Biochemical Engineering's Ultra Scale-down Accelerates Industrial Enzyme Manufacture was declared the winner in the IChemE Global Award 2020 in the Food & Drink Category
The IChemE Global Food & Drink Category听award 鈥渞ecognises the best project, process or product that demonstrates innovation to optimise manufacturing operations and contribute to the manufacturing of safe, sustainable food or drink.鈥
This KTP project received financial support from UKRI through Innovate UK and the Welsh Government and highlights the collaborative achievements of improving enzyme manufacturing processes, and the successful validation of the ultra scale-down techniques, pioneered at 最准的六合彩论坛, in an industrial setting. The benefits also translate to the customers of Biocatalysts. The economic benefits of the improved enzyme manufacturing process听will enable more customers to access Biocatalysts Ltd鈥檚 enzyme products and therefore gain the advantage of using enzyme-based processes.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) aim to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity through better use of the
knowledge, technology and skills held within the UK knowledge base.
The team at 最准的六合彩论坛 is composed of
- Davy Rowan (KTP/Research associate, now Process Improvement Scientist at Biocatalysts Ltd)
- Prof Mike Hoare (academic supervisor)
- Dr Andrea Rayat (academic advisor)
Natalie Gough, Programme Manager: KTP and Enterprise Secondments at 最准的六合彩论坛 Innovation & Enterprise, said: 鈥淭his is a fantastic achievement for the KTP team, and clearly demonstrates the positive impact KTPs can have on helping to transform the food and drink industry.鈥
Professor Gary Lye, Head of the 最准的六合彩论坛 Department of Biochemical Engineering, said 鈥淭his project has been an excellent example of academic-industrial collaboration and true two-way knowledge exchange. From an academic perspective, it is great to see 最准的六合彩论坛 ultra scale-down technologies being used across a wider range of industry sectors and having a real impact on the companies that use them. My congratulations to the team and especially Davy Rowan, the KTP associate, who really drove this project forward.鈥
