Your benefits

Techno-Economic Assessment translates your idea into a complete bioprocess concept at industrial scale. We define the process mode (batch, fed-batch, continuous) and the upstream, downstream, and formulation steps. Based on your lab or pilot data, we build mass and energy balances and size key equipment at the target capacity, giving you a transparent view of how the process behaves in a realistic factory setup.

• Defined process concept and flow diagram
• Mass and energy balances at target scale
• Equipment list and main sizing assumptions

We quantify the investment and running costs of your process. Our TEA models estimate CAPEX for main equipment, installation, buildings, and utilities, as well as OPEX for raw materials, media, energy, labor, consumables, and waste. From this we calculate cost of goods (CoGs) and show how economics change with key performance parameters.

• CAPEX breakdown for equipment, buildings, and utilities
• OPEX breakdown for raw materials, media, energy, labor, and waste
• Cost of goods (CoGs) and sensitivity to yield, titer, productivity, media cost

We explore “what-if” scenarios to help you make robust decisions. This includes different plant scales and throughput options, alternative process modes (batch, fed-batch, continuous), and technology choices such as stirred tank versus jet loop reactors. You receive a clear comparison of economic performance and payback, plus recommendations on which options to pursue.

• Comparison of scales and throughput options
• Evaluation of alternative technologies and process modes
• Payback and feasibility view per scenario with clear recommendations
