Our Technology
EcoEt Pearls — The Biological Safe-House
Instead of genetically re-engineering a “super-yeast,” EcoEt uses process engineering to build a “super-home.” Our immobilized biocatalyst beads lock yeast cells in a vegetative, high-density state — achieving ultra-high cell densities (>10&sup9; cells/mL) and directing 100% of carbon flux toward ethanol.
1G Ethanol — EcoEt Pearls
High-density S. cerevisiae for molasses and grain-based feedstocks.
2G Ethanol — EcoEt Pearls Pro
GM yeast engineered for simultaneous C5/C6 fermentation from lignocellulosic biomass like bamboo and bagasse.
Genetic Preservation
Vegetative state eliminates genetic drift implies zero mutation risk across 60+ cycles.
45-50 g/L/h
Volumetric Productivity
Industry standard: 3-4 g/L/h
Why EcoEt
The Industry Problem
We Solve
India’s Ethanol Blended Petroleum program demands massive production scaling. Conventional fermentation is slow, wasteful, and unpredictable. EcoEt changes that.
Smaller Footprint
1200% faster rates mean vastly smaller tank volumes for identical output. Elimination of centrifugation and acid-wash steps.
Cost Reduction
5% yield improvement cuts production costs by ₹1.5–2.5/litre. 60+ reusable cycles slash yeast procurement costs.
Sustainable & Simple
Drop-in technology for existing distilleries. No complex genetic modifications required for 1G operations.
