A USEFUL FIRST STEP

Start with a brief.
Build the evidence.

Free samples are available for qualified commercial trials after an application review. Sample selection, quantity, delivery and the trial method are agreed before dispatch.

Plan the next step ↗
  1. Describe your application.

    Crop type, residue composition, pretreatment, particle size, solids, pH, temperature and intended downstream process.

  2. Agree the trial conditions.

    Include the material, scale, pH, temperature, contact time and any existing process chemicals.

  3. Define a useful result.

    Choose the comparison, controls and measurements that will guide your next decision.

BEFORE YOU START

The details
that matter.

Can enzymes replace every pretreatment step?

No. Material accessibility and process conditions affect the treatment. Review the complete route before selection.

Is this a product for living crops?

The focus is harvested or processed crop residues. Living-crop and root-zone applications require a separate compatibility review.

Do you guarantee more biogas or ethanol?

No fixed uplift is claimed. Compare the complete downstream process using the same feedstock and appropriate controls.

Do you offer bulk supply and tailored blends?

Send your application, required quantity, specifications and delivery destination. We will review a suitable supply or development route and provide a quotation.
