Australian BioRefining Pty Ltd is a private company established in 2004 to develop and commercialize sustainable process technologies for value adding to presently low value agricultural products.
We have identified several opportunities and targeted several promising technologies
that have become possible through developments in materials science and process
chemistry over the last 15 years. Many of the concepts that we are investigating
are not new concepts, however we are approaching the development of these
concepts in different ways to what has been done previously (previously the
results have been that processes are either not possible or not economically
feasible).
The board of Australian BioRefining possesses a range of expertise covering
research, development, and production and financial management in chemistry,
chemical and mechanical engineering, and large scale commodity production.
AustralianBioRefining has initially targeted the sugar industry, and is currently
investigating processes for value adding to sugar, to cellulosic waste, to
residual ash waste, and molasses. The company is seeking investment and industry
partners for the early commercialization of our most advanced technology –
production of gluconic acid from sugar, and for further development work on
processes for production of mannitol, fructose, xylose, erythorbic acid, synthetic
zeolites, and chemically modified cellulose. These products cover a range
of sectors – food additives, confectionary, pharmaceuticals, diabetic
foods production, industrial chemistry, cement additives, and environmental
and agricultural remediation.
