Aldehyde-assisted fractionation (AAF) technology

Bloom Bio Renewables uses aldehyde-assisted fractionation (AAF) to separate cellulose and stabilize lignin polymers and hemicellulose-derived sugars in biomass. Due to this stabilization, lignin and hemicellulose can be valorized more efficiently, allowing Bloom to transform them into various products. These lignin-derived products are antioxidant, antimicrobial, water-soluble, and efficient in low concentrations. They also filter UV rays and function as excellent emulsifiers and dispersants. In textile products, Bloom transforms cellulose into crystalline nano cellulose or microfibrillated cellulose. These textiles feature excellent purity and do not require bleaching or chemical modification. Bloom also offers sustainable, degradable plastics and plastic ingredients with excellent mechanical and barrier properties. They are chemically recyclable from a mixture of commodity plastics and can potentially replace BPA. Bloom’s technology also makes sustainable biomass-based food additives, nutraceuticals, and biofuels. The technology also reduces CO2 emissions by 80%, and all products are made from biomass that is biodegradable or recyclable.
