Agri-food Industry Solutions

Bionet's solutions for the agri-food industry

Agri-food companies play a crucial role in bioprocessing applications, working on engineering cells, mainly microbial, for fermentation processes that bring to market enzymes, food ingredients, probiotics and biostimulants, among others. These are critical to the responsibilities of the agricultural and food sectors in providing sustainable practices, offering alternative proteins and novel foods and processing technologies, improving crop varieties, etc. To achieve this, their daily challenges include coping with major economic constraints and infrastructure limitations while facing regulatory hurdles, being aligned with sustainability concerns, gaining consumer acceptance, and having a shortage of skilled professionals with expertise in both agriculture and bioprocessing.

Why Bionet?

Bionet provides an unique combined approach for precision fermentation in the agri-food sector, which is the result of more than 15 years of specialization in this sector. The approach is embodied in the right combination of biotechnological know-how, investment in technological development, long experience in manufacturing and numerous successful relationships with reference customers in this sector.

We provide world-class bioreactors and TFF systems (stand-alone or complete bioproduction plants) tailored to the requirements of the agri-food sector. Beyond technology, we accompany our customers throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial proof-of-concepts in a bioreactor and TFF up to the construction and setting to work of viable complete plants within the budgets and real needs of the agri-food sector.

End-to-end Solutions

Keep costs constrained

Get advice during the project lifecycle on operational and economical decisions to ensure feasibility in the industrial scale-up of agri-food bioprocesses. Most of this will be done indirectly during the collaboration with us, but you can also request formalized service of different types: from technology screening and proof-of-concept DoE and trials, through process development and scale-up consulting and empirical activities, to engineering services.
Choose from a wide range of bioreactors and TFF configurations designed around the philosophy of guaranteeing, with the most cost-effective and basic configurations, access to functionalities that have nothing to do with luxuries but with needs that we consider basic to the understanding, optimization and development of the science behind the processes.
Bionet is constantly working in the pilot plant to devise innovative operating configurations, from the most automated and demanding to more cost-effective alternatives that allow the same results to be obtained without losing important technological and process details aimed at quality and productivity.

Select high yield strains

Do some proof-of-concept testing with us to ensure your strain will give you the performance you expect on an industrial scale.

Ensure scale-up

Come back to us during scale-up to reduce issues that arise when scaling up to industrial levels and to consult on workflows and production plant layout possibilities.

Maximize yield by optimizing fermentation conditions

Our Plug&Play add-ons allow the bioprocess to grow in the required directions to ensure maximum productivity. Unrestricted from the initial decisions, hardware expansion (from a range of PATs and actuators) and associated software functionalities in terms of monitoring, visualization, control and data logging are always available.Once the process is characterized, there is always room for productivity improvement. An example of this is the optimization of the specific nutrient addition profile, with the aim of minimizing costs while maximizing yield.

Stay up to date on bioprocessing knowledge and trends

Beyond the aforementioned bioprocess-focused services, Bionet believes that education is the key to everything, including bioprocesses. With our academy located at our pilot plant, where we have a number of well-equipped bioreactors and TFFs of different sizes, we organize on-site theoretical and practical courses on fermentation and TFFs in various formats. Upon request, these courses can also take place at the customer's premises.
These services will also provide you with the opportunity to learn what.

Keep sustainability at the core of your activity

Bionet invests in making bioproduction sustainable. We have taken action to compensate the carbon footprint of each of our sold F0-BABY bioreactors.

Concrete solutions by our technologies

Continuous operation strategies with less expensive equipment

Ask the experts at Bionet how you can run continuous processes in chemostat mode without having to use expensive scales and additional pumps.

Real value for money in the software landscape

An example of this is the existence of numerous visualization, control and connectivity functionalities in the basic licenses of ROSITA and MARTA softwares, from advanced control modes such as DO cascade and profile programming through time points, to advanced visualization tools including comparative graphs, to the possibility of integrating a series of additional PATs signals for monitoring and triggering controls.
