BioBeN: Software Based Evalutation of the Sustainability of Biotechnological Processes
Who benefits from BioBeN?
Process Designer
As a process developer you can use BioBeN to map your planned bioprocesses in early phases of development and evaluate it both in economic, ecologial and social respects. This will help you avoid later corrections, which will then be particularly costly.
Plant Developer
With BioBeN you inegrate your plant in the context of an entire bioprocesses and thereby detect the consequences of the devices of your equipment to the whole process.
Decision Makers
BioBeN supports you making decisions: Is the new bioproess sustainable? Where are potentials for improcements? Is it worth continuing developing the process?
SME's - Engines of biotechbology
Small enterprises play a big role in biotechnology. They benefit from BioBeN especially, as they can analyse the chances and risks of their processes and products with a minimum of time and resources.
Universities
With BioBeN you ca create process alternatives virtually an increase the awareness for an economic process development as well as for the social coherency.
