SSPLAXFermentation Scale-Up
Which stage sets the scale-up ceiling, and which single intervention creates the first real increase in saleable output?
Model map
The governing limit is highlighted
Current saleable output
200 tonnes/quarter
Governing limit
Downstream recovery at its 200-tonne/quarter ceiling
Selected scale-up move
Recovery debottleneck
Situation
Upstream productivity is improving, but saleable output remains below the next commercial target. Only one near-term scale-up move can advance.
Model logic
Routes the base and intensified processes through their shared recovery and finishing path under one operating envelope.
The current network supports 200 tonnes/quarter of saleable output.
Another upstream campaign or toll-fermentation slot adds no output while shared recovery remains at 200 tonnes/quarter.
The recovery debottleneck raises output to the 245-tonne/quarter finishing ceiling.
Advance the recovery debottleneck first; defer additional upstream capacity until the downstream ceiling moves.
