PHB Extraction

The solvent, a non-toxic ethanol productionby-product, is mixed

The cells react to the solvent by bursting,leaving the PHB absorbed in the solvent

The rest of the cell particles remainundissolved, suspended in the solvent

The bulk of the solvent plus dissolved PHBis then filtered from the cell debris

At this point, the mixture of solvent anddissolved PHB moves on to thecrystallization / purification steps while thedebris by-product is removed from thebatch

Crystallization / Purification

After the filter stage, the PHB andseparated it from the remaining solvent

In the purification stage, the separatedsolvent is removed and recycled

Once the PHB is at this high purity level,it is steam dried and packaged for

delivery to converters and other endcustomers
