MHG Now Largest PHA Supplier With Commercial-Scale Fermenter
Up to 60 million lb capacity now available.
Biotechnology firm MHG, Bainbridge, Ga., has become the world’s largest producer of PHA biopolymer with the recent startup of its first commercial-scale fermenter. The company has been working over the last couple of years to ramp up the Bainbridge facility. Initial capacity for Nodax PHA is 30 million lb/yr, though at full production, the plant will be capable of twice that volume.
