«Get out and about!» is
our watchword, and this issue of our Newsletter clearly shows that our
trickle-flow reactors are anything but ivory towers: We are indeed constantly «out and about»! Any feedback or questions would be most welcome: Just call us or write. And please pass our Newsletter on to colleagues and other interested persons. Wishing you a pleasant read Dr. Stefan Dröge | |

Energy and Cosmetic Ingredients from Vegetable Residues
In the meanwhile completed BYPROVAL research project, PFI Biotechnology and the Belgian research institute Celabor together investigated the extraction of valuable ingredients from selected residues from fruit and vegetable cultivation. The main focus was on residues from pea processing (stalks, leaves, pods), apple pomace, and carrots, which are rich in valuable secondary plant substances. The goal was to generate additional income for existing biogas plants by a combination of extraction and biogas production. | |
