- A novel chain of engineered processes has been investigated the recovery/concentration of organic acids/nutrients, resulted in 5x more biopolymer and led HiVFA®/nGenPHA®/ HiPHA®. The results illustrated a promising market for sludges. Other applications are being explored including the recovery of UK 88Mt of animal slurries currently untreated and more across the world reducing climate-change impact. Led to projects: KESS-WWU-Flexible Methane & OFGEM-NIA £90k, WG-SMART-CIRCLE-WP4 £250k with 8 companies and ERDF-BEACON-PHA £350k (TRL6)-collaborations developing for toothbrushes, films, packaging-based PHA-products and biotech-process developed for a novel flexible gas production to meet seasonal gas distribution network demands in collaboration with WWU.
