Canolfan Bioburo

Cyfleuster ar raddfa beilot ar gyfer echdynnu, dadansoddi ac optimeiddio cemegion o fiomas a phrosesu ffrydiau ochr gyda biotechnoleg diwydiannol annatod ac amgylchedd gradd bwyd.

Mae Canolfan Bioburo ArloesiAber yn gartref i BEACON.

Mae'n galluoedd yn cynnwys:

Prosesu cychwynnol
Prosesu eilaiid
Eplesu
Ystafell lân i orffen cynnyrchion

Gyda staff cymorth technegol pwrpasol, dadansoddiad cemegol uwch integredig a Chanolfan Bwyd y Dyfodol o dan yr un to, yn ogystal â mynediad i arbenigedd academaidd blaengar Prifysgol Aberystwyth, mae Canolfan Bioburo ArloesiAber yn le perffaith ar gyfer eich anghenion datblygu cynnyrch a phrosesau.
