About Zimotec Bioprocessos
The problem we're solving:
Bacterial contamination is one of the most harmful aspect on fermentation process of Brazilian ethanol industry, that can causes direct expenses in the order of R$5 to 10MM per season, due to the use of antimicrobials for it's control. Contamination also has huge impact in the ethanol yield production, up to 30.000 L/day, caused by high rates of bacteria.Our solution:
Find ways to reduce or eliminate the use of antimicrobials currently used by the industry.Our differentiator:
The development of a unique yeast strain with antibacterial activity.Our biggest achievement:
This yeast strain control the bacterial contamination, reduce the costs with antibiotic, sulfuric acid and anti foam without reducing the ethanol yield and promoting savings in company revenues.Disclaimer:
