  Holiferm develops holistically improved fermentation technology for massive fermentation and downstream cost reductions. The first technology uses gravity separation to recover insoluble lipids as they are produced by fermentation. We have demonstrated our gravity separation technology, in combination with an enhanced fermentation technique, to pilot scale with sophorolipid biosurfactants, reaching titers >800 g/l and productivites >5 g/l/h, more than double state of the art, and estimated to reduce production costs by >40%. We are now offering licences to our sophorolipid production technology for reduced production costs. In parallel, we are applying the technology to the production of additional lipid molecules, and have already demonstrated the technology at lab scale with mannosylerithritol lipids and a proof of principle for terpene fermentations. If you are interested in using this technology, collaborating to develop it further or joining the team, please get in touch!

  I am currently a PhD student in Chemical Engineering in the University of Manchester, where I do the study and research on environmentally friendly personal care products. In the project, we formulated personal cares with some biosurfactants instead of those petroleum-derived ones.
