Xanthan Gum Production Process Design

Engineering Excellence for High-Performance Xanthan Gum Manufacturing

At kasel group, we have developed cutting-edge and sustainable technologies for the production of xanthan gum. We specialize in the selection and development of industrial production strains of Xanthomonas campestris with exceptionally high conversion rates of various carbohydrate sources. This expertise allows us to deliver efficient, scalable, and cost-optimized process solutions for global manufacturers.

Our Capabilities

• End-to-End Process Design
We develop complete production line designs — from upstream fermentation to downstream purification — ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Industrial Strain Development
Our biotechnology team customizes and optimizes Xanthomonas campestris strains to achieve higher yields and superior conversion efficiency from diverse carbohydrate sources.
• Energy and Cost Optimization
By integrating air-lift fermentation, solvent recovery, and advanced air purification technologies, we reduce energy consumption and raw material usage while maintaining product integrity.
• Advanced Separation and Recovery Systems
Our ethanol recovery and waste treatment solutions minimize environmental impact and improve overall process sustainability.
• Quality-Focused Engineering
Designs are aligned with international food, pharmaceutical, and industrial standards to guarantee safe and consistent output.

Process Scope

1. Fermentation Design
     o Optimized carbon and nitrogen source utilization (corn starch, fish meal, soybean meal).
     o Controlled aeration and temperature management to maximize yield.

2. Downstream Purification
     o Concentration, precipitation, solid-liquid separation, ethanol washing, and drying.
     o Options for ultrafiltration and advanced concentration methods to enhance efficiency.

3. Ethanol Recovery & Waste Management
     o Plate tower design for solvent recycling.
     o Environmentally compliant effluent treatment strategies.

4. Energy-Efficient Air Systems
     o High-efficiency, low-resistance air purification technologies to optimize fermentation conditions.
