BioCampus MultiPilot: A One‐Stop Shop for Industrial Biotechnology Demonstration

Abstract One of the highlights of DECHEMA Forum 2024 has been discussions about who is going to be first in transforming towards more sustainability, the politics or the industry. This contribution about the demonstration plant BioCampus MultiPilot (BMP) in Straubing shows one of the steps the regional Bavarian public sector makes in supporting industrial biotechnology. Being public infrastructure BMP will provide food‐grade facilities, state‐of‐the‐art equipment, ready‐to‐use utilities, and process development services for development, demonstration, and scale‐up of bioprocesses. Some of the features of the main apparatuses like 5‐m 3 biomass digestion reactor, 20‐L up to 25‐m 3 bioreactors as well as solid‐liquid separators, multipurpose vessels, falling film evaporator, and spray dryer are given.
