Project description
PERCAL exploits municipal solid waste (MSW) as feedstock to develop industrially relevant intermedaite chemical products at high yield and high purity. Targets of PERCAL include ethyl lactate, succinic acid biosurfactants. PERCAL introduces novel production (pretreatment of MSW and fermentation), extraction and purification pipelines including in house (CMET) developed membrane electrolysis.
