System Development/Field Test/ Commercialization

Slicker Recycling, a waste oil collection company, uses Hydrodec's hydrogenation refining technology to re-refine used and contaminated waste oil. This company applies proprietary technology to re-refine used and contaminated waste oil to produce high-quality industrial oils for reuse. The technology removes detectable levels of PCBs from used transformer oil. The high-quality industrial oils produced include emission-free and cost-effective SUPERFINE™ transformer oil and naphthenic base oil. The process is highly efficient, with a recovery rate of 99% and near zero emissions.

Immobilization matrix for the immobilization of enzymes. Biocatalysts allow reactions with milder and safer conditions, high regioselectivity, and enantioselectivity. Enzyme immobilizations enable the recycling of enzymes, increase process efficiency, and reduce enzyme-removal steps. It also increases selectivity, stability, and activity and restricts enzyme movements, protecting the biocatalysts from harsh conditions. This product immobilizes enzymes on the surface without losing activity, facilitating the purification of the catalyst.

Synthetic biology of fine and specialty chemicals for products and intermediates in drug development, agrochemistry, and sustainable bio-manufacturing. Synbiochem uses a Design-Build-Test-Learn (D/B/T/L) pipeline in their chemical production. They design novel enzymes, pathways, and chassis; build multiple pathways in host cassis using automated assembly; test and evaluate these pathways using advanced optimized ultra high-throughput (HTP) screening and analytical methods; and learn methods to inform re-design and optimization. This pipeline allows for rapid prototyping and scalability.

A high-throughput cloning approach that will decrease the time taken to research and develop biocatalysts. GRASP™ and meta-GRASP™ allow high throughput genome-mining to produce new and highly diverse planes of enzymes for biocatalysis. With this technology, they have designed a Biocatalysis Enzyme Toolkit. 

Hydrophobic ether solvent with applications in reactions, extraction, crystallization, polymerization, and coatings. CPME is a widely applicable replacement for Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), Dioxane, and other solvents. CPME can be used in reactions, extractions, crystallizations, polymerizations, and coatings. CPME is hydrophobic and quick drying, functions at a wide range of temperatures, and has a low heat of vaporization and exothermic decomposition energy.

Manufactures sustainable and environmentally friendly ingredients with synthetic biology. This company uses sugarcane fermentation to convert basic plant sugars into rare bioidentical molecules, essential ingredients, and everyday products. They use a Lab-to-Market™ operating system to produce molecules that are bioidentical to those that exist in nature. They offer better performing ingredients at lower costs and unmatched speed and scale. 
 

Acidic cleaning agent. Scale 131 offshore is an effective, highly concentrated acidic cleaning agent for Cleaning in Place (CIP) operations at offshore water-borne systems that is mild to users, materials, and the environment. It is classified as PLONOR (Possess Little Or No Risk to the Environment). This product is composed of biodegradable Bio Gen Active® and fruit acids. Traditional corrosion inhibitors are hazardous and negatively impact the environment. 

Separates live plants or algae into various bioactive components. This technology uses colloidal chemistry to gently separate live plants or algae into various bioactive components (Zeta Fractions) without solvents and with minimal energy consumption.

Green chemicals for pharmaceuticals, polymers, paints, and petrochemicals. Inkemia Green Chemicals produces biodegradable, renewable, low-VOC, and waste-derived chemicals for pharmaceuticals, polymers, paints, and petrochemicals. They also offer biodegradable, low-VOC, and 90% biobased linseed oil methyl esters as a reactive diluent.

Fluorinated, nonflammable, environmentally friendly solvent. ZEORORA® H is a nonflammable and environmentally friendly solvent for a variety of applications.  ZEORORA® H/HTA is a cleaning solvent and functions as an alternative to HCFC-225 and nPB. This solvent has zero ozone depletion potential, minimal global warming potential, and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is also thermally stable, easy to recover, and has a high boiling point and low consumption.
