Verenium Corp has introduced its Purifine phospholipase C (PLC) enzyme product for use in pretreatment of oil for biodiesel production.
Verenium’s Purifine PLC is a novel phospholipase C enzyme that offers a way to improve yields and overall economics of edible oil and biodiesel production
Purifine PLC enables an innovative approach to crude oil processing that significantly improves crude oil degumming, one of the earliest process steps in the refining of high phosphorous vegetable oils.
Verenium president and CEO James Levine said when compared to traditional degumming processes, our Purifine PLC enzyme enables a high yield of oil while at the same time efficiently removing phospholipid impurities.
Verenium began marketing and selling Purifine PLC in 2008 for processing of edible oils.
