We’ve taken a classic Swedish tradition – Glögg – and added a scientific twist! 🍷✨ Check out this fun and festive video where we use the SpinChem® system to brew up the ultimate holiday drink. Because who says reactors are just for the lab? 🎥👇 Sound on 📣 #HolidayCheer #IndustrialInnovation #SpinChem #SwedishTraditions #Glögg

The Science Behind Bubbles: Insights from Biochemical Engineering It’s a holiday season and some glasses with bubbles are going to be around. Have you ever wondered about the intricacies behind the bubbles in your champagne glass? Just like the fine bubbles produced during biocatalytic processes in biochemical engineering, every bubble in your drink has a fascinating story tied to mass transfer and reaction efficiencies. In a recent study published in the Biochemical Engineering Journal researchers demonstrated the significant advantages of utilizing fine bubble aeration in biocatalytic oxidation reactions. This innovative approach enhances the rate of oxygen transfer, which is crucial for effective enzyme reactions. The findings revealed that fine bubbles create a larger surface area for gas exchange, leading to increased reaction rates—up to **12.9 times** greater compared to traditional macrobubble aeration! But how does this relate to your champagne? The effervescence you see in your glass is a result of carbon dioxide escaping from the beverage. Similar to the fine bubble aeration utilized in biochemical processes, the bubbles in champagne are responsible for enhancing the flavor and aroma of the drink, driven by the dynamic release of carbon dioxide. Both scenarios highlight the importance of optimizing gas-liquid interactions. While one serves the purpose of brewing up delightful drinks, the other is crucial for advancing sustainable biotechnological processes. It's a perfect reflection of how the principles of chemistry and engineering can significantly impact our daily lives—whether it be through our favorite beverages or groundbreaking scientific innovations. So, the next time you raise a glass of champagne, take a moment to appreciate not just the taste but also the science that goes into every bubble!

👀 Do you want to know how to boost your processes results? Our blog gets you started with all the insights you need on use of RBR in biocatalysis, downstream processing, and more! How fast a reaction proceeds, how pure the product is, and for how long you can reuse your solid phase (e.g., catalyst or adsorbent)? Many variables are easily controlled in a rotating bed reactor, and it is a good idea to experiment with them on a smaller scale. 🔥Don't miss out: https://lnkd.in/dQEEBgvg #biotech #chemistry #processdevelopment #biocatalysis #rbr #spinchem

At SpinChem, we kicked off our Julbord (the traditional Swedish Christmas feast) with a twist—skating under the winter sky on a frozen lake so clear it feels like glass. Julbord doesn’t have to be conventional—it’s about coming together, celebrating fresh perspectives, and having fun (just like how we tackle chemical challenges!). As the year winds down, we want to thank all of you—our partners, collaborators, customers and fellow innovators—for an incredible 2024. May your holidays be as smooth and brilliant as a frozen lake on a crisp December morning. #SpinChem #Julbord #InnovativeTraditions #MerryChristmas

Today, we are highlighting the contributions of our team members who are instrumental in realizing our vision. We invite you to meet Aman Malhotra and gain insights into his experience working at SpinChem.

We have made a collection of publications demonstrating and investigating the utility of rotating bed reactors across multiple industries. In the environmental sector, they are being explored for their potential to improve waste treatment processes and reduce pollution by facilitating more effective biocatalytic reactions. In the flavor and fragrance industry, rotating bed reactors are being utilized to optimize the synthesis of complex aromatic compounds, ensuring higher purity and yield. Meanwhile, in the pharmaceutical industry, these reactors are being studied for their ability to streamline the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, potentially reducing costs and increasing the scalability of drug manufacturing. This growing body of research highlights the versatility and effectiveness of rotating bed reactors in addressing industry-specific challenges and advancing sustainable practices. 📩 For a brief insight into these papers check out our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g8UtCw-r Feel free to reach out for any questions. #research #science #chemistry #biocatalysis #publications #lipase #renewable #resources #valorization
