Cobalt Technologies Scales up Bio n-butanol Production to Commercial-scale Levels...

摘要

Cobalt Technologies has successfully completed a production campaign of bio n-butanol at a fermentation scale greater than 100,000 liters (26,400 gallons U.S.). The performance demonstrates scalability by replicating the performance previously obtained at both the 10-liter bench scale and the 4,000-liter pilot scale. The production run was carried out at a U.S.-based contract manufacturing organization (CMO) facility with minimal modification to their existing aerobic system, highlighting the flexibility of Cobalt's anaerobic technology and showing the robustness of Cobalt's biocatalvst.
