Many filtration systems overlook a major issue for oxygen-sensitive liquids like wine: oxidation during transfer and filtration. Even small amounts of oxygen can degrade quality. This apparatus provides a closed, inert-gas-pressurized filtration system that keeps wine fully protected from oxygen

The technology relates to an innovative process for converting waste cooking oils to biosurfactants that are applicable to various industries. The process utilises a special yeast strain to convert waste into biosurfactant at competitive concentrations. The downstream process includes a bioreactor

During beer production, around 2–4% excess yeast is generated and removed, causing significant beer loss of up to 400 mL for every litre of yeast discarded. Since beer production is highly water-intensive (about 3.5 L of water per litre of beer), this loss also represents substantial wasted water

Oceans hold the promise of immense resource wealth and great potential for boosting economic growth, employment, and innovation. South Africa is surrounded by vast oceans with immense potential as an untapped resource—the potential to contribute billions of rand to the GDP and offer employment to
