SunEthanol Collaborates With MBI to Scale-Up Cellulose BioEthanol Process
Top 5 YouTube Videos of 2009 Top 5 LANSING, Mich. (Business Wire EON) August 26, 2008 -- "There are several reasons we chose to partner with MBI," states Dr. Sarad Parekh, VP of Research and Development at SunEthanol. "We were impressed by their multidisciplinary expertise, rigorous and disciplined scale-up approach, and specialized on-site pilot-plant facilities."
MBI is a Lansing, Michigan biotechnology firm specializing in fermentation process development and scale-up. MBI also develops biomass processing technologies. Currently, MBI is actively scaling-up AFEX (ammonia fiber expansion), a promising biomass pretreatment technology developed at Michigan State University.
"We believe that AFEX-treated biomass could be an effective feedstock for our Q-microbe in producing cellulosic ethanol," said Dr. Parekh. AFEX opens up biomass cell-wall structures, thereby increasing the effectiveness of digestion.
"MBI's mission is to accelerate bio-based technologies from early stage to practical application," states Dr. Bobby Bringi, President and CEO of MBI. "MBI minimizes risk by demonstrating commercial viability at a meaningful pilot scale. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with SunEthanol, an innovative biofuels technology company, to determine the commercial viability of their Q-Microbe? approach."
