Abstract
The pioneering project will investigate the possibility of producing a high value chemical using proprietary enzymes in a continuous plug flow reactor. The scientific objectives are to investigate the effects of operational parameters on the kinetics and conversion of the biotransformation, while the technological goal is to establish a reactor platform to produce this high valued chemical continuously in a reliable, robust, control and predictable manner.
