Calysta starts fish protein sample shipment
(UNITED KINGDOM, 5/10/2017)
Calysta, Inc. has announced the successful production of over four metric tons of commercially representative FeedKind® protein for distribution to customers and partners globally.
These samples of this natural, sustainable, and traceable fish feed will support market development in the European Union (EU), the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, and Australia.
The protein is produced via a continuous fermentation process of a natural microorganism, using the world’s only commercially-validated gas fermentation process. It is a safe, non-animal source of protein approved for sale and use in the EU and has been tested on multiple species, including fish, livestock, and pets.
The firm’s representatives highlighted that the Teesside plant, in England, has met its design parameters, including key commercial metrics such as yield and productivity.
The Teesside facility is a scale-down from a reactor demonstrated to produce at a rate of 10,000 metric tons per year.
“I want to commend our team in the UK for achieving this significant milestone and hitting our facility’s design parameters in a very short timeframe,” said Alan Shaw, Ph.D., Calysta President and CEO.
“It is a testament to our team’s extensive experience in continuous fermentation and the power of our proprietary technology. Our customers are now able to benefit from Calysta’s substantial investment in research and manufacturing technology for FeedKind protein over the last decade,” Shaw concluded.
