Bio-Process develops technologies that are technically viable and commercially valuable- reducing the cost of production and increasing the variety & value of bio-products produced to maximize the profitability of bio-refinery systems.  To evaluate technology viability and value on the commercial level process modeling programs are developed by Bio-Process.

In order to provide the most commercially valuable technologies and processes possible, research & development efforts are co-developed with technically precise process model of chemical reactions, fermentation kinetics, unit operations, and process integration. These process models integrate research, technical, uncertainty, and economic variables to simulate process systems and return economic measures of value, profitability, & sensitivities. Process models and simulations are critical in the development and commercialization of processes and technologies as they provide a common language across, science, engineering, finance, and economics.

Process Modeling Uses:

• Directing & Refining Research Efforts,
  
• Technology Analysis & Evaluation,
  
• Process Technology Commercialization,
  
• Process & Technology Improvement,
  
• Estimating Technology Cost, Worth, & Risk,
  
• Economic, Investment, & Finance Analysis,

Recent Process Modeling Projects:

• Integrated Corn & Cellulose Ethanol Refinery (USDA & Universal Entech),

• Conversion of Biomass Carbohydrates to a Hydrocarbon Fuel (Sponsored),

• Biodiesel Process Technology Options, Costs, and Evaluation (Sponsored),
