Organization and offer

The Bio2E facility provides solutions, tools, and expertise to explore ways to recover value from your biomass through bioenergy and biomolecules, and/or to understand and overcome technological barriers. Tests and studies of pre-treatment, biological conversion processes, post-treatment, and agronomic studies are possible, as well as biowaste and effluents characterization.

Our equipments enable experimentation from the laboratory scale to the pre-industrial pilot scale under a wide range of conditions: aerobic, anaerobic, batch, continuous, from mL to hundreds of liters, combined with a comprehensive range of analytical resources located accross 3500 m2 of laboratories and experimental halls, as well as custom-built equipment and prototypes that can be deployed under operational conditions on site.

Discover feasible studies and tests:

The comprehension of the fate of pathogens potentially present in agro & agri-food residues and the impact of the treatments on their reduction is crucial, as well as their potential spread during the recycling of organic waste products. Our BSL-2 Lab offers the possibilities of handling microbial consortia with potential pathogen content. The isolation and cultivation of strict anaerobic strains and pure cultures for biotechnological purposes (biomolecules, biohydrogen, microalgal products, etc) is also possible.

Discover some of our main equipments and tools:

  • Cross-flow filtration pilot equipment (50 L)
  • Field micro-laboratory SNAC (titration system for ammonia, VFA, and inorganic carbon) to monitor anaerobic digestion
  • Connected equipped scale and sensors, associated with a weather station
  • Spectroscopy pilot equipment (NIR...)
  • Mobile pilot combining dark fermentation (biohydrogen) and anaerobic digestion (1000 L)

Bio2E offer is flexible and can be tailored to the needs.
