Scale-Up Suite
Integrated pilot-scale
capabilities
Supporting bio-based product and process development from
pre-treatment to application testing.
The Process
From resource to revenue
NBPP supports the transition from early-stage validation to pilot-scale
demonstration and pre-commercial readiness.

Our Services
Five integrated processing stages
01
Pre-treatment & Upstream
Conversion of agri-food side-streams and
bioresources into process-ready
substrates.
- Maceration & high shear mixing
- Wet milling & precipitation
- Centrifugal separation
- Demineralisation & homogenisation
- On-site inoculum upstream processing
02
Fermentation
Pilot-scale bioreactor capacity for process
development, optimisation and scale-up.
- Precision bioreactors (100L, 1,000L, 3,000L)
- General-purpose vessels (500–3,000L)
- Anaerobic digestors — 2-stage with gas capture (2,500L)
- Photobioreactor (1,000L)
03
Downstream Processing
Recovery, clarification and separation of
target components using downstream
technologies.
- Harvesting & clarification (500–5,000 LPH)
- Cross-flow filtration MF/UF/NF/FO (100– 4,000 LPH)
- Liquid-liquid & liquid-solid solvent extraction
- High-pressure chemical reactor (100L)
- Continuous flow centrifuge & homogeniser
04
Preservation & Concentration
Stabilisation, drying and concentration
steps for further use, testing or evaluation.
- Batch & continuous (short-path) distillation
- Hydrophilic & hydrophobic pervaporation (100 LPH)
- Spray drier
- Drum drier
- Powder blending & mixing
05
Application Testing & TEA/LCA
Support for prototype development,
sample generation and decision-making.
- Complete pipeline assessments
- Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA)
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Prototype products for customer evaluation
- Equipment evaluation support

integration
Broad range technology suite
All five processing stages at NBPP are designed to operate as a fully
integrated pipeline. Feedstocks move through pre-treatment,
fermentation, downstream processing, preservation and application
testing in a continuous, coordinated workflow — reducing handoff
delays and enabling rapid iteration from concept to product.
