The partnership between a leading global resource-management group and a biotech company is aimed at tackling one of the most pressing global crises to date – food scarcity. The companies chose to develop their bioconversion strategy at a pilot farm in 马来西亚 because of the country’s abundance of the “black soldier” fly (Hermatia illucens) and the worldwide reach of its aquaculture industry. 澳门足彩app developed the facility’s preliminary process design.
Bioconversion is a process in which previously undervalued organic products, 比如收获废弃物, general food waste and food processing byproducts are converted into a value-added product – protein. 收集有机废物, ground and mixed to feed and breed the “black soldier” fly larvae, which is the ideal insect species for this process because it is non-invasive and harmless towards humans. The process takes about two weeks for the process to convert one kilogram of eggs into six tons of larvae. The process ends with the cleaning, 洗, drying and grinding of larvae, which are transformed into flour, 有机肥料, 油和蛋白质. The finished product is used in the agricultural sector as fertilizer and for feed for chickens and fish.
The team in 马来西亚 dedicated nine weeks to develop the preliminary design for the process building of the facility. The scope of the project included a process flow diagram, 建议的建筑布局, 工艺仪表图, general drawing and a single line drawing.
