Title:

BNC Biopolymer Development as a Binder-Dewatering Mechanism within One Single Process

Agreement Number:

1020581

Agreement Value:

$149,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 15, 2024 - Sep 12, 2025

Description:

This project aims to develop dual-functionality BioNanoCoil (BNC) biopolymers as both binder and dewatering agents in one continuous process in the food and animal food processing industry. By combining these two functions into a single process, BNC prevents excessive decay in the feed line, enhances the process water efficiency, and reduces operational costs, while the traditional methods often require separate processes for binding and dewatering, which can be more energy-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. This project can represent a significant advancement in second-grade food processing industries.
