Celignis and Ibiocat team up to develop solutions for the next generation of biorefineries



Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Celignis (Ireland-based analytical service provider to clients in the bioeconomy) and Ibiocat (Illinois-based small private start-up aimed to expand the use of technological innovation by providing advanced biorefinery solutions) have come together to develop bespoke solutions for clients that are looking to add value to their process residues generated from first- and second-generation ethanol plants. The partnership will be presented at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Indianapolis (USA) on June 11-12 where Ibiocat and Celignis will share exhibition stand 1702.
Press release: “Celignis Collaboration with Ibiocat”, 4/6/2019.

Chemical composition and process are tightly intertwined and detailed feedback is required at each stage of the conversion process in order to develop a commercially-viable technology. The collaboration between both companies will enable the creation of customised solutions for each biorefinery project based on the feedstock and products. Those projects will benefit from Celignis’s globally-recognised analytical expertise coupled with the decades of bioprocess expertise of Ibiocat’s founder Charles Abbas.

The companies have devised a protocol for how, through collaboration, bespoke solutions will be developed for stakeholders in the corn industry. The outputs of consultation with Ibiocat will be in-depth compositional analysis data provided by Celignis and cost-effective options for the conversion of stillage, DDGS, DFS and wet mill corn fiber for RINS credits as well as alternatives to convert these materials into other high value-added feed and/or fermentation products.
