Bio-Process Group
Process Design and Improvement for Biorefinery Systems
Bio-Process Group was founded in 1984 at Purdue University with the mission of developing profitable and efficient process technologies for the industrial production of high value co-products from lower-value sources, such as biomass, whey, waste paper and other organic waste streams. BPG consists of subsidiaries Bio-Process Innovation and Applied Bio-Process and offers contract research and engineering consulting services.
An applied biotech company focused on the development of industrially applicable process technologies for conversion of biomass to high value fuels & chemicals. Learn more about BPI here.
A process design & engineering company providing complete engineering packages, project development, and process technologies for industrial biorefinery projects. Learn more about ABP here.
We want to work with you!
Whether you need contract research services for designing your new process, operational support for an existing facility, or if you are interested in collaborating with us on any of our biorefinery system projects, please get in touch.
Bio-Process Group Consulting Services:
Lab Scale
Our laboratory staff works with clients daily to design and improve bio-based processes. We value your project expectations and cater to both bench- and pilot-scale operations. Our bench-scale experiments are often studied in a representative model of the large-scale operation. Learn more about our lab resources here.
Pilot Scale
Our applied science and engineering staff works with clients at the pilot-scale for testing methods prior to full-scale operation. This niche scale allows us to evaluate feasibility, time, cost, adverse events and statistical variability of yields in order to improve the design. Learn more about our pilot plant here.
Industrial Scale
Our engineering staff consults with clients at the industrial-scale for testing methods proven at the lab and pilot-scale. We offer operational support for process optimization, technology improvement, as well as trouble shooting process and technology related problems.
