When we price a chemical process, we focus on catalyst cost, reaction time, and yield. But one of the biggest costs often sits downstream: purification. Metal catalysts can require multiple removal steps to meet regulatory limits. Residual palladium, for example, must be reduced to parts-per-billion levels; adding time, solvent use, waste, and cost. Biocatalysts change the equation: • No toxic metal contamination • Simpler purification • Lower regulatory burden This isn’t just about sustainability. When purification, waste treatment, and compliance are fully accounted for, enzymatic routes often win on total process economics. At ErebaGen, we’re developing biocatalysts that don’t just match chemical synthesis, they simplify the entire workflow, from reaction to final product. #ProcessChemistry #Biocatalysis #Pharmaceuticals #GreenChemistry
