Finalists in Prestigious IChemE Global Awards 2020!

We are proud to announce that Biocatalysts Ltd in partnership with University College London (UCL) are IChemE Global Awards 2020 finalists in both the Biochemical Engineering and the Food and Drink categories.

Our submission – Ultra Scale-Down Accelerates Industrial Enzyme Manufacture, highlights the benefits that can be gained when a highly respected academic establishment such as the Biochemical Engineering department of UCL and Biocatalysts Ltd, a world class industrial biotechnology manufacture company, combine their knowledge and expertise. This Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) demonstrates the value of effective knowledge transfer between industrial and academic experts, which ultimately enabled the successful embedding of advanced biochemical engineering processes into the enzyme manufacturing processes at Biocatalysts Ltd, in some instances improving process productivity by up to 50%.

“Continuous improvement is an essential philosophy at Biocatalysts Ltd underpinning our ability to continue to assist and excite our customers. This project with UCL exemplifies what can be achieved when applying innovative tools to biotechnology process. We are very grateful to the UCL Team, in particular the dedication of the Lead Scientist Davy Rowan for their support in making this KTP a successful enterprise”

– Andy Ellis, Technical and Compliance Director.
