Agri-food
We are experts in waste treatment and resource recovery and in the digitisation of the agri-food industry.
Processors and food industry:
- Development and production of functional ingredients. Encapsulation of elements of interest for their protection and controlled release.
- Bioprocesses and new biorefinery models for the use of by-products and waste. Renewable gases (biomethane, biohydrogen), biopolymers, others.
Livestock and agricultural holdings:
- Development of new processes (chemical, thermochemical and biological) for the use of biomass. Green biorefinery from biomass sources. Renewable gases (biomethane, biohydrogen), biopolymers, others.
- Technologies for the elimination of gases (methane, ammonia, nitrogen oxides, others).
Fertilisers and soils:
- New fertiliser and biofertiliser formulations. Development of additives. Obtaining phytostimulant compounds.
- Regeneration of degraded soils, field validation tests.
Feedingstuffs:
- New feed formulations. Supplements with antimicrobial additives. In vitro antimicrobial capacity tests.
- Coatings and encapsulation for the protection and controlled release of active ingredients, flavourings, etc.
Aquaculture:
- Technologies for the reduction of pathologies in aquaculture. Development of aquaculture sanitisers and in vitro tests to determine antimicrobial capacity.
- Integrated recovery of waste from the aquaculture, fishing and canning industry.
Digitization:
- Digital Twins for process optimisation. Artificial Intelligence simulation models for pattern identification in historical data.
- Sensor networks for parameter control and on-line analysis. Sensor network architecture.
- Photonic technologies, Artificial Vision and robotic systems for process optimisation.
- Blockchain for traceability control and certification of origin or processes applied to the agri-food sector.
Sustainability analysis:
- Life Cycle and Cost Cycle Analysis, and Social Life Cycle of products and processes.
- Water and carbon footprint.
- Environmental product declaration according to international standards.
We apply our knowledge in chemical, biological and biochemical processes and in Industry 4.0. in the applied research of solutions for the agri-food industry.
