Scale-up of A Bioprocess Forbio-polymers Productionusing Animal by-products.

The production model of circular economy is becoming a focus of attention in our society. One of the solutions proposed by this model is waste revalorization. Most of the waste revalorization processes are based in the biotransformation of these waste materials into new valuable ones. In previous works, a fermentation process that aimed to use slaughterhouse waste as a substrate to produce bio-polymers by a microbial conversion was stablished. First, the biowaste and the bacterial strain were selected after several experiments. Afterwards, with the biowaste source and the strain chosen, the optimal conditions to produce the bio-polymers in a bioreactor were determined. Here, the fermentation process developed was scaled-up to demonstrate the industrial possibilities of it. The results that we have obtained are promising. Although, it is necessary to optimize the process to achieve higher yields. Thus, reducing the production costs to be competitive in the market.
