Biomass fermentation

Biomass fermentation is the approach used to produce bioplastics(specifically PHA), which are plastics made from renewable plant materials rather than fossil fuels. The use of biomass fermentation to produce bioplastics can help reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and decrease plastic waste in the environment.

Extract

Purification and extraction

Biomass purification and extraction refer to the processes of removing impurities and extracting useful compounds from biomass materials. Biomass purification often involves methods such as washing, filtration, and centrifugation to remove contaminants and unwanted materials from the biomass.

Downstream

Product

Downstream products are products that are produced further along in the manufacturing process, using materials that have been processed or refined from raw materials. These products are typically the final products that are sold to consumers or used in other industrial processes. For example, a car manufacturer might use steel as a raw material, which is then processed into various parts, such as engines and chassis, before being assembled into a finished car. This car would be considered a downstream product. In general, the term "downstream" refers to anything that is further along in a process or supply chain, while "upstream" refers to earlier stages in the process.
