The BioVeritas Process™ represents a breakthrough in fermentation technology, leveraging a natural mixed-culture fermentation process to convert a wide range of biomass into versatile volatile fatty acids. These include acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, caproic, heptanoic, and caprylic acids - the building blocks for sustainable aviation fuel.

  

The heart of the BioVeritas Process™ is Directed Mixed Culture Fermentation, which is powered by a naturally occurring, self-regulating ecosystem of microorganisms that conduct fermentation which is similar to what occurs in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminant animals.  

​

Our Directed Mixed Culture Fermentation is a step-change improvement over what happens in traditional fermentation, like in the GI tract of ruminants. Through the combination macro-nutrients, micro-nutrients and process controls, we direct the microbial physiology and ecology of the mixed culture in a way that enables better control over the product outputs. 

​

Further, Directed Mixed Culture Fermentation does not require costly strain development, CAPEX-intensive fermentation materials, or sterile operating conditions as demanded by precision fermentation. Additionally, mixed cultures are more resistant to contamination, making them more resilient and adaptable.  

 

From fermentation, the target volatile fatty acids are recovered through a series of downstream processing steps including clarification, concentration, extraction, and fractionation. This proprietary process is protected by IP at various stages. Once these versatile acids are recovered, they can be converted into many different chemicals including esters, triglycerides, alcohols, alpha olefins, paraffins, amines, amides, and more. These chemical products serve a wide range of markets such as fuels (particularly SAF), specialty and industrial chemicals, lubricants, supplements, and food and feed ingredients.
