Bioprocess Control AB

Our flagship optimisation approach Biogas OptimizerTM was selected as the top Swedish Clean Tech innovation of the year in 2007 for its ability to both accelerate and improve the stability of biogas processes. Biogas OptimizerTM was subsequently commercially launched in 2008 along with a portfolio of services for both customers and partners.

• Wastewater treatment plants
• Organic waste handlers
• Food & beverage producers
• Ethanol producers
• Bio-diesel producers
• Pulp & paper companies
• Power and gas companies
• Farmers

An optimised design will help to remove bottlenecks that may inhibit a process from operating at 100% of its designed capacity. Bioprocess Control can play a key role at this stage, assisting designers and builders with ensuring that a new biogas plant or plant undergoing expansion or retrofitting is optimally designed from a process control standpoint.

Once a plant has been built, we recognise the need to provide support to operators for ensuring that a biogas plant is always operated as close as possible to its designed capacity. This is the foundation of our business, as well as our product and service portfolio, and it is here where an operator is able to experience the true benefits of Biogas OptimizerTM.

• To bring to market innovative process control technologies that allow for the more efficient operation of biogas plants & processes.
• To work closely with suppliers of complementary products and services in the areas of biogas plant & process optimisation.
• To provide support to designers and builders of biogas sites for ensuring that new sites, as well as sites undergoing expansion or retrofitting, are optimally designed from a process control standpoint.
• To simplify the management of biogas sites, improve overall operational efficiency and thus have a positive impact on the profitability of our customers’.

Vision

To become a global leader in providing technologies and services that support the efficient design and operation of biogas plants & processes, thereby helping to bring efficient biogas production to the masses.

In addition to operating a state-of-the-art research and development laboratory, Bioprocess Control through an expanding network of academic, research and industry advisors is able to keep abreast of the latest technological developments in our business area. This unique position allows us to take a leadership role as a driver of innovation.

This research and development focus has resulted in a pipeline of innovative technologies that will further enhance the performance of our current product/service portfolio and provide further value for our customers and partners in the years to come. This will allow for Bioprocess Control to become a leader in both the development and commercialisation of technologies to optimise the production of biogas.

• The production of biogas from dedicated crops yields more energy per hectare than any other biofuel production path.
• Compressed biogas (CBG) is the most climate friendly of more than 70 different fuels and is considered to be CO2 neutral.
• Technologies to purify biogas to natural gas standards (97% methane) are now readily available, which allow for upgraded biogas to be directly fed into natural gas grids for distribution and used as a fuel for vehicles, heating or electricity generation.
• Biogas can be produced from a wide variety of available organic materials and wastes, including sewage sludge, animal manure, municipal/industrial organic waste, stillage from ethanol production, crop residues, and specially grown energy crops.
• The efficient production of biogas has a positve impact on not only energy security but also the economic development of both urban and rural communities.
• Overall, the adoption of gaseous fuels such as biogas is a natural step towards a hydrogen based society and sustainable waste treatment system.
