Biorefining of sugars
via Process Intensification
Improve biorefinery operations through process
intensification and new end product.
About BioSPRINT
Building on successful projects and relevant assets from partners and an interdisciplinary approach, BioSPRINT applies process intensification (PI) in the context of biorefining operations, to improve the efficiency of the purification and conversion of sugars from the hemicelluloses fraction of lignocellulosic biomass and to enable their transformation into new bio-based resins for substituting fossil based polymers in a range of applications.
