Enzymes for Biofuels

Enzymes enable higher yields by improving fermentation

As global demand for energy continues to grow at unprecedented levels, bio-refineries worldwide are converting record volumes of biomass into fuel, feed and numerous other bio-based products. Driven by innovation, especially in a challenging economic environment, continuous improvement is a necessity in the ethanol and starch processing industries.

Leveraging our advanced technology, we create high-performance industrial enzymes uniquely suited for grain processing and ethanol production. We are committed to understanding the needs of our customers and to working closely with them to develop optimal solutions. By improving fermentation, enabling higher yields and more flexible process parameters, we help our customers attain greater overall efficiency. Together, we can realize a more sustainable future.

Key benefits of LBDS enzymes:

  • Increase fuel ethanol yields
  • Speed up fermentation times
  • Provide a greater overall efficiency
  • Improve yeast health

Alcolase®

Alcolase® enzyme products are used in the production of bioethanol for fuel and potable applications and used to improve yields of co-products derived from the process. The main enzymes are alpha amylase which breaks down large starch molecules for viscosity reduction and glucoamylase which converts these long chains starches into glucose which can be utilized by the yeast for conversion to ethanol.

Spartec®

Spartec® enzyme products are used in the production of bioethanol for fuel and potable applications and used to improve yields of co-products derived from the process. They improve the overall efficiency of the bioethanol production, which utilizes renewable resources, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity.
