Bridging the Gap from Concept to Commercialization
iPROOF (Pilot Research Operations Optimization Facility) will be a first-class pilot scale facility at Primient’s corn wet mill plant in Decatur, IL, helping bridge the critical gap between pilot and full-scale commercialization. Offering a comprehensive suite of wrap-around services, iPROOF will empower precision fermentation companies to launch new bioproduct concepts from the lab to market.
iPROOF operations will feature:
- Fermentation up to 10,000 L working volume
- Varied DSP equipment, including spray dryer
- Upstream and downstream process development with established industry experts
- Streamlined technology transfer from iFAB partners
At Primient, we’re focused on accelerating innovation in the bioeconomy and fast-tracking production of the next generation of bio-based solutions. We are excited to partner with iFAB Tech Hub consortium members to bring iPROOF to life.
