Bioprocess Development / Contract Production

Fermentation process development from pilot to commercial-scale production

PROPHYTA provides the facilities and trained staff to develop, transfer, or scale up your solid-state fermentation process. PROPHYTA has developed a unique solid-state fermentation technology for production of filamentous fungi.

Out-source projects or increase capacity!

In the PROPHYTA-fermentation facilities we will optimize your production or develop a fermentation process that will improve the product’s performance – giving a competitive advantage on the market.
In addition to designing equipment and developing processes, PROPHYTA offers licences for its technology and expertise in solid-state fermentation technology.

Scale up

As the principle of the PROPHYTA^®L-Fermenter and the PROPHYTA^®fermenters of industrial size is the same, a scale up of an optimised bioprocess is always possible. PROPHYTA offers its expertise in production scale up, technology transfer and project management if a scale up is desired. After succeeding with the PROPHYTA^®L-Fermenter the scale up usually begins with the medium sized PROPHYTA^®Pilot Fermenter with external peripheral equipment (“pilot phase” of the scale up). In the final phase production will be set up on the desired commercial scale. The PROPHYTA^®fermenters of industrial size can be licensed in order to build up a production unit. Alternatively it is possible to have the production done by PROPHYTA on commission.

Applications of Solid-State Fermentation

Advantages of PROPHYTA’s Solid-State Fermentation Technology

• Contamination-free growth conditions for long periods of time, which allows the production of even slow-growing fungi
• Microprocessor-controlled fermentation with data collection
• Cost effective
• High production capacity after scale up
