Use of by-products
Greater profitability in your processes
Manage your company’s by-products efficiently and profitably
The concepts of circular and sustainable economy are already part of our lives. They have become deeply rooted both socially and industrially.
As could not be otherwise, industries’ growing concern for caring for and preserving the environment, while maximising their economic returns, has led to a paradigm shift in which the aim is to obtain added value from what, until recently, was considered waste. And, truly, there is a treasure hidden behind what until recently was considered waste, but how can this be achieved?
Through the identification of technologies and processes that enable the production of high value-added bioproducts that can be applied in different industrial sectors, as well as their transformation into a source of energy and biofuels. This can represent a significant competitive advantage from something that, a priori, represents a cost for the company.
At AINIA, we add value
- Obtaining bioenergy and biofuels
- Production of culture media
- Generation of biobased chemicals and building blocks
- Transformation of lignocellulosic materials and biomass into cellulose, nanocellulose and lignin for a wide range of applications
- Generation of biomaterials and bioplastics
- Obtaining biofertilisers
- Extraction of bioactive compounds
- Treatment of brines and cleaning water

We help you obtain value from your by-products, redirecting the company’s vision towards the implementation of a strategy based on the circular economy, generating zero waste and zero discharge, from which you can also obtain economic return. We transform a cost into a competitive advantage. We help you valorise by-products for the recovery of compounds of interest, the generation of new ingredients and materials, as well as the production of bioenergy and biofuels.
We have a wide range of technologies that, individually or combined synergistically, will add value to your by-products:
- Technologies for the extraction and purification of cellulose, as well as for the production of nanocellulose and lignin
- Supercritical fluid technology
- Pressure-driven membrane technologies: micro-, ultra-, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis; electric gradient membrane technologies: conventional electrodialysis, reverse ED, bipolar ED, ED metathesis; bioelectrochemical systems; membrane distillation, etc.
- High-pressure technologies for the fractionation of lignocellulosic materials
- Fermentation technologies for the production of bioplastics and biofuels
- Anaerobic digestion technologies for the production of biogas and biomethane
- Technologies for obtaining biofertilisers (from microalgae and lemna cultures to single cell protein)
- Technologies for obtaining biofertilisers (from microalgae and lemna cultures to single cell protein)
Through the application of these technologies and many more, we are able to valorise by-products not only from the agro-industrial sector (fruit and vegetable, agricultural, sugar, brewing), but also from the meat, dairy and many other sectors, to obtain high value-added compounds that contribute to improving the economy of the different sectors while respecting and caring for the environment.
