Production

MARKET INTRODUCTION FACILITY (MIF),
TEESSIDE, UK

Our market introduction facility opened in September 2016 at the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) in Teesside, England, UK and is currently producing sample quantities of FeedKind® protein for customers around the world.

The plant is supported by a conditional Exceptional Regional Growth Fund (EGRF) award and represents a total potential investment of £30 million.

Calysta’s FeedKind creates more from less by developing novel food products using the carbon building blocks found in natural gas.

How is FeedKind® made?

Fermentation Oxygen Nitrogen Carbon and Energy Separation Water & Nutrients Drying and Packaging Distribution STEP 1 Gases are mixed in a proprietary fermenter where they are consumed by Calysta's natural microorganisms which form the basis of microbial protein. STEP 2 Microbial protein is separated from the liquid in which it is grown, with water and nutrients returned to the fermenter. STEP 3 Microbial protein is dried and packaged per customer specifications. STEP 4 Products are shipped as ingredients for pet food or animal feed worldwide.
