The Colors of Biotech

Biotechnology is Colorful

Biotechnology permeates all areas of life and is as diverse and colorful as life itself: from crops and beverage production to medical applications, animal breeding, and environmental technology—cutting-edge biotechnology is hidden everywhere.

Chemgineering provides solutions for many of these important areas of life. Our experience ranges from traditional biotechnology to new cell and gene therapies, novel foods, and sustainable bioproduction.

Our services are particularly strong in the following areas:

Red Biotechnology

Medical applications, from diagnostics to the development of state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches. These include gene therapy and biosimilars (biotechnologically produced drugs), which are closely linked to the pharmaceutical industry. Chemgineering is at home in the pharmaceutical industry and its connections to biotechnology. We have already implemented numerous exciting red biotechnology projects for renowned customers.

Green Biotechnology

Crop cultivation and agriculture. The genetic modification of plants and seeds, for example to improve plant resistance to disease or to alter soil bacteria, but also the production of beer and wine through fermentation, fall into this category. Closely related are the fields of biochemistry, molecular and microbiology, and process engineering.

Blue Biotechnology

This area covers everything that lives in water. It is home to algae cultivation and processing, e.g. through fermentation, as well as fish and other marine animal farming.

White Biotechnology

Processes for the industrial production of enzymes or raw materials such as ammonia. Whenever biotechnological processes are used on an industrial scale, we refer to this as white biotechnology.

Our Services in Upstream & Downstream

We develop feasibility studies, concept designs, basic and detailed designs, and complete processes for our customers, right through to implementation, qualification, validation, and commissioning. Our experienced project managers are your central point of contact for all questions throughout all project phases.

We design efficient plants and systems for upstream processes, from the preparation, storage, and filling of media to various types of fermentation, including seed lines, to harvesting in the upstream sector.

In the downstream sector, we design complete downstream lines, including buffer supply systems, and take care of fill & finish in various forms, such as liquid, solid, and semi-solid.

We take all project areas and requirements into account

We understand the requirements of your project, from user requirements to the necessary laboratory specifications. Our holistic approach means that we consider all aspects of a project, such as

• Hygiene requirements, such as zoning and appropriate containment.
• Storage and tank farms for raw materials, various additives, and products for production lines.
• Planning of supply facilities, such as clean media, cooling, and heating systems, to ensure a robust and efficient supply.
• Batch and logistics simulations to avoid production peaks, resulting in an efficient overall concept in which all parts work together seamlessly.
• Safety in all required areas, including the treatment of emissions such as exhaust air and wastewater inactivation.
