RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Development of technologies for starch modification

Our company – as a „spin-off” micro-enterprise – was founded for the development of modified starch derivatives. An environment friendly, waste free „dry method” was developed for the chemical modification of starch. A pilot-scale reactor suitable for solid phase reactions was planned and built. A pilot plant was also built to realize the „dry method” at an industrial scale. The nominal capacity of a pilot-scale reactor is 100-120 kg/charge modified starch product..

Research and development of starch based flocculants

We are developing a family of starch based flocculants called Greenfloc for different technological purposes (drinking water purification, treatment of special industrial waste waters, food industry and biotechnological separation etc.). Based on our experience at the pilot plant, a patent was registered for the production of certain starch based flocculants by the „dry method”.

Development of other starch derivatives

Supported by the Hungarian National Research and Development Programs, the research development of other starch derivatives (extended effect capsulating agents, ion exchangers, carriers, subsidence inhibitors) are also under way.
