We combine biology and engineering!

The Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB develops and optimizes processes, technologies, and products for health, sustainable chemistry, as well as the environment and climate protection. For this, we rely on the combination of biological and process engineering competencies in order to provide solutions for individualized medicine, a sustainable bioeconomy and climate-neutral and resource-efficient circular economy. We offer our customers research and development services ranging from feasibility studies to implementing new processes in industrial practice, accompanied by a wide range of analysis and testing services. Our strengths are offering complete solutions from the laboratory to pilot scale applications.
The center provides modular process capacities of up to 10 m3 fermentation volume and continuous plants for processing up to 100 L/h, also under high process pressures, as well as a wide range of upstream and downstream processing techniques. With this flexible biorefinery concept, raw materials such as vegetable oils, cellulose, lignocellulose, starch or sugar can be converted into materials and chemical products.
