== Feedstock ==

=== Origin and composition ===
[Description about which kind of relevant feedstock (biowaste) is usually processed (relevant feedstocks can be found under [[Biowaste]], [[Food waste]], and [[Garden and park waste]]). More information about origin and composition (chemical and physical) and how is that related to the process and product outcome (quality, advantages, disadvantages, needs for technology-/process-adaptations with respect to the feedstock composition etc.). Tables can help to give a better overview.]
=== Pre-treatment ===
[Description or list about pre-treatments that are necessary before the feedstock can be processed via the technology. [[Primary processing]] or [[hybrid processing]] might provide suitable candidates that can be linked. If they are not covered yet please provide feedback or feel free to create articles/pages for missing pre-treatments.]

== Process and technologies ==
[Main description about the process and technologies (including process conditions etc.). The technologies might have further sub-categorisations these sub-categories are then used for the '''technology comparison''' '''tool''' and '''technology provider''' '''infobox''' under the chapter [[Technology sample page#Technology_providers|technology providers]]. The sub-categories can be introduced and described in subchapters as follows:]

=== Category 1 ===
[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]

=== Category 2 ===
[Description about a special sub-category of the technology including the main features and differentiation from the other subcategories. If applies: advantages, disadvantages, limitations, differences in ability to process different feedstocks, product quality.]

=== Reactions or physical principle ===
[Reactions or physical principles can explained in more detail if needed. It can be considered that reactions or physical principles are explained in separate articles/pages which is useful to prevent repetitions when several technologies are based on same principles. Separate articles/pages can be linked accordingly in this section.]

== Product ==
[Main description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc. Sub-chapters as follows are recommended if several products are obtained:]

=== Product 1 ===
[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]

=== Product 2 ===
[Description about the products that are obtained including application fields, as well as potentially impacts on quality, yield etc.]

=== Post-treatment ===
[Description or list about post-treatments that are necessary after the feedstock is processed via the technology. [[Primary processing]] or [[hybrid processing]] might provide suitable candidates that can be linked. If they are not covered yet please provide feedback or feel free to create pages for missing pre-treatments.]

== Technology providers ==
[This chapter begins with the '''technology comparison''' '''tool''' that includes '''obligatory information'''. The comparison tool is customised for each technology (since especially the datafields for technology and process details as well for the feedstock and product need relevant/suitable fields).]

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant

2021-08-23T15:58:56Z

Katrien Molders:

An independent state-of-the-art pilot and demonstration facility for bio-based products and processes.

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP) is an open innovation pilot and demonstration facility for process development, scale-up and custom manufacturing of biobased products and processes from lab to multi ton scale. BBEPP combines technologies (biomass pretreatment, biocatalysis, green chemistry, (gas)fermentation, biorefining and downstream purification) for advanced manufacturing of biobased products utilising a wide and flexible spectrum of modular unit operations. As such, a team of highly trained and experienced engineers and bioprocess technicians facilitates the translation of your biobased laboratory processes into viable industrial processes.

BBEPP's business model allows for:

* Bilateral privately funded projects with industry. Operated in full confidentiality, intellectual property remains with the customer.
* Partnering in Consortia-based projects. To build expertise and value chains and to communicate. BBEPP is/was already involved in more than 50 public projects.

BBEPP also coordinated several policy related public projects such as [https://www.interregeurope.eu/smartpilots/ SMARTPILOTS] and [https://biopilots4u.eu/ PILOTS4U]. {{Infobox consortium|Picture=Please provide information|Company=Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant|Country=Belgium|City=Ghent|Founded=2008|Employees=115|Webpage=www.bbeu.org|Name=Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant}}
