Together, Calysta, CPI, and OSL worked to deliver a new fermentation facility. Calysta uses proprietary fermentation process to improve worldwide food security. OSL is a process-led engineering and project delivery company. Using Calysta’s innovative process, the plant produces feed-quality protein for use as fish and livestock feed.
Thanks to excellent engineering collaboration from the project team, the plant was delivered against a fast-tracked construction programme with zero injuries. The facility has been commissioned successfully, which has led to work beginning on a full-scale commercial plant. Samples have been distributed worldwide for feeding trials, marking a significant step towards engineering a sustainable food source for the growing global population.
