integrated production processes and bioreactor facilities producing 2,000l of different PHA materials. Image courtesy of SIRIM Berhad.

• Polyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs are linear polyesters produced in nature by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids. They are produced by the bacteria to store carbon and energy. More than 150 different monomers can be combined within this family to give materials with extremely different properties.[1] These plastics are biodegradeable and are used in the production of bioplastics.

Alpha Biologics

There is a buffer preparation unit with 50l, 120l, 250l and 1000l preparation vessels.

The bioreactors range from 10 to 500l capacity.

The facility has seven bioreactors.

Bioreactors can be operated in batch, fed-batch or perfusion mode.
