FUELING THE FUTURE THROUGH THE BIOVERITAS PROCESS

Directed Mixed-Culture Fermentation
Directed Mixed-Culture Fermentation unlocks a wide range of biomass for fuel production. The naturally occurring, self-regulating ecosystem of microorganisms adapts to the input biomass to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs), a reactive intermediate on the path to SAF. BioVeritas has produced VFAs from over 35 feedstocks – from sugarcane bagasse to food waste to corn starch. Through our proprietary process we direct the microbial physiology and ecology to create a mixture of VFAs in a controlled and tunable ratio, optimized for the target product.
Low-Energy Acid Recovery
Low-Energy Acid Recovery (LEAR) retrieves the targeted volatile fatty acids (VFAs) at high purity and with low energy demand and, resultingly, low carbon intensity. LEAR is our proprietary recovery and water-recycling process that recovers the dilute VFAs from the fermentation broth; it does so with greater energy efficiency than distillation and evaporation, two steps that typically drive high energy demand in similar technology pathways. LEAR selectively recovers the higher carbon number acids (C5-C8) and recycles the shorter-chain acids to fermentation for elongation.

Serving Numerous Markets
VFAs are highly reactive molecules and building blocks for products in a wide range of applications such as specialty and industrial chemicals, lubricants, supplements, and food and feed ingredients. BioVeritas creates a bio-platform to serve many markets.
