Bio origin. Petrochemical standard.
Proven hardware. Drop-in.
What we do
Biosimo sets the new standard in biochemical manufacturingcompeting with petrochemicals on cost and scale enablingchemical manufacturers to get ahead in the natural material space.
Four ethanol sources from two continents validated. No feedstock-specific redesign, plugs into existing supply chains. Geographic resilience built in.
Proprietary catalytic process. Lower energy input. Designed to compete at fossil economics — not dependent on green premiums or subsidies.
8,000+ hours stable catalyst operation. No first-of-a-kind hardware. Standard fixed-bed reactor, extraction, distillation. Built to run on existing infrastructure.
Bio-acetic acid available now (glacial and food grade). Bio-acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, bio-VAM, and sodium acetate available. Butanol, Butanal, 2-Ethylhexanol, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, Cellulose Acetate and other acetyls coming soon.
How it works
One step. Bioethanol plus air enters a standard fixed-bed reactor with our proprietary catalyst. Out comes bio-acetic acid.
Our technology is based on the oxidation of bioethanol with the help of the Biosimo heterogeneous catalyst in continuous flow.
