R&D

BioEnTech, excellence and innovation

BioEnTech deploys state-of-the-art digital technologies such as artificial intelligence amd digital twins to improve and optimize green chemistry, in particular the optimization of bioprocesses. This know-how makes BioEnTech an essential partner of innovation in the world of bioprocesses and industry 4.0, with the participation in many national R&D projects.

Biogaz RIO (2019-2022): Optimizing the feed recipe for digesters

 

  • Partner: INRAE (leader), BioEnTech, SUEZ, NASKEO, Distillerie Sud Languedoc
  • Budget: €900K (INRAE BioEnTech sub-part), FEDER Region funding
  • Objective: development of an algorithm to estimate and arbitrate the value of organic waste in the methanization/composting and entomoculture pathways and the ideal feeding recipe for a methanizer.
R-D-MAPPED

MAPPED (2017-2019) : Digital solution for optimising waste management across a territory

 

  • Partner: BioEnTech (leader), ENGIE, Akajoule, INRAE
  • Budget: 3.2 million, PIA ADEME funding
  • Objective: remove the main technical and organisational barriers in the methanisation chain by integrating intelligent digital tools at the unit and territorial level. These tools will help strengthen the profitability of the sector in a circular economy approach by optimizing the use of resources and the environmental balance of the sector.

ANRautorferm (2014-2017): control tools for agricultural methanation

 

  • Partner: Université de Lorraine- ENSAIA (leader), BioEnTech, LRGP, Université de technologie de Troyes, LaSalle Beauvais.
  • Budget: €800K, funding: ANR
  • Objective: The difficulty of controlling the units leads designers to take significant safety margins related to very long retention times (50 to 90 days), often multiplying implementation volumes by 2. This safety margin is explained by the fact that a major problem on a digester can lead to shutdowns of 2 to 3 months. Ensuring the reliability of the agricultural digester will reduce these residence times and thus considerably reduce the amount of investment to be expected. The Autoferm programme has made it possible to design an interactive steering tool providing the operator with a guarantee on the conduct of his production unit and in particular to detect biological and technical problems sufficiently early.
