Bio-energy List of Products and Services

Our company provides a biodiesel production system and plant designed and manufactured by Kansai Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd. Unlike conventional methods using alkaline catalysts, our system utilizes the "enzyme method," which offers numerous advantages, such as eliminating the need for wastewater treatment in the product washing process. We offer oxygen system plants for producing biodiesel fuel using the enzyme method, with options for batch, continuous, or single-column systems, all of which do not require wastewater treatment. The post-reaction processes are significantly reduced. 【Features】 ■ Provides a system using the enzyme method with various advantages ■ Choice of production methods ■ Significant reduction in post-reaction processes ■ Designed and manufactured by Kansai Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Typically, when we talk about lactic acid, we refer to L-lactic acid, but in recent years, our company has developed "lactic acid bacteria that produce high-purity D-lactic acid." We are also actively developing lactic acid fermentation from cellulose resources, aiming to establish a system that can stably supply optically active lactic acid from various underutilized biomass. We have also developed a process for directly polymerizing lactic acid from fermentation broth and have filed a patent application.

We would like to introduce the conversion process of biomass resources using the arming microorganisms we possess. When using arming yeast, the yeast itself can simultaneously carry out saccharification of biomass and ethanol fermentation due to the action of enzymes it produces. Additionally, if the enzyme is amylase, starch can be saccharified and fermented without cooking, and arming yeast can be reused repeatedly. This leads to a significant reduction in enzyme costs, which have traditionally been a bottleneck, and holds great potential for energy-saving and low-cost bioethanol production. We are also actively developing various heat-resistant and acid-resistant industrial yeasts for arming.

"Arming microorganisms" that retain various functional proteins on the cell surface enable groundbreaking technology to catalyze higher-order chemical reactions in a single step. Our technology differs from conventional processes in that it eliminates the need to separately prepare and purify the enzymes that act as catalysts, significantly reducing the costs of production processes for useful substances that require multiple steps. Thanks to the technology we developed, various enzymes such as amylase, cellulase, and lipase can now be armed (fixed to the cell surface) with high activity. Currently, it is possible to produce biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol, as well as plastic raw materials like D-lactic acid and polyols from biomass resources.
