LUCRA – electrochemical biosuccinic acid extraction

LUCRA is a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded initiative on a mission to revolutionise biobased chemicals. Ten industrial partners and renowned research centres representing the whole value chain from feedstock to products have joined forces to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of transforming organic waste into bio-succinic acid on a pre-industrial scale. HYDROHM is responsible for the design and construction of a lab and pilot-scale electrochemical extraction unit to recover succinic acid from fermentation broth.
