Biocomplete features an on-site robotic system that efficiently addresses the global issue of whey waste in dairy production. The system combines water reduction, yeast fermentation, and protein extraction to provide a comprehensive and sustainable solution. Through the robotic system, Biocomplete enables the conversion of whey waste into high-value bioethanol and protein-rich products. The solution offers both environmental and business benefits by efficiently managing whey waste and turning it into profitable resources.

Global Whey Waste: Over 170 million tonnes of whey are produced annually, and the disposal of whey presents a significant environmental challenge.

Environmental Pollution: Whey is considered the most dangerous pollutant among food industry pollutants, with high Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels. Discharging whey into the sewerage system and natural waters is environmentally detrimental.

Inefficient Resource Utilization: Traditional methods of whey disposal fail to harness their potential, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities.

Our solution

Transforming whey waste into sustainable solutions

Biocomplete is a revolutionary solution to the global problem of whey waste. Whey, a hazardous by-product of cheese production, has been a significant environmental pollutant in the food industry. Over 170 million tonnes of whey are produced annually, leading to alarming environmental impacts. Biocomplete addresses this challenge by utilizing a robotic system on-site to reduce 90% of the water in whey. Throughout yeast fermentation, the residue is transformed into high-quality bioethanol, while extracting valuable proteins and other substances. Biocomplete not only solves the whey waste problem but also creates high-value products, promoting environmental protection and sustainability.

On-Site Robotic System: Biocomplete incorporates an automated robotic system that reduces 90% of the water content in whey directly at the dairy site.
Yeast Fermentation: By adding yeast to the residue, Biocomplete initiates the fermentation process, converting the whey into bioethanol with a purity of 98%.
Protein Extraction: Biocomplete utilizes the residue to extract high-quality proteins for food or feed production, maximizing resource utilization.
Environmentally Friendly: Biocomplete offers an environmentally sustainable solution by transforming whey waste into valuable products, reducing pollution, and protecting natural resources.

Advantages

Environmental Sustainability: Biocomplete significantly reduces the environmental impact of whey waste by converting it into valuable bioethanol and extracting useful substances, thus preventing its discharge into the sewerage system and natural waters.
High-Added Value Products: The residue generated during the process is dried and used for the production of protein-rich food or feed, maximizing resource utilization.
Cost-Effectiveness: By utilizing a robotic system on-site, Biocomplete offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for dairy producers to manage whey waste.
Regulatory Compliance: Biocomplete helps businesses comply with environmental regulations and reduce their carbon footprint.
Renewable Energy: The bioethanol produced can be used as a sustainable alternative to traditional gasoline, promoting a greener future.
