Marrying biocatalysis and chemical engineering enables modular chemical plants that can be built 5× faster, 3× cheaper, and 10× smaller than incumbents.
Three layers of an industrial revolution, deployed in modules.
Engineered enzymes that convert simple, abundant, inexpensive bio-based feedstocks — dextrose, water, compressed air — into high-value molecules.
Novel metal catalysts and continuous-flow process engineering, perfected from the Navy to Merck to General Mills.
Pre-fabricated "Forges" that ship on a truck and go live in weeks, not years. Regionally defined, locally deployed.
Each Forge is a self-contained chemical plant engineered around a single class of molecules. Pull up to a site, plug in feedstock, ship product out the back.
Our process starts with simple, abundant, inexpensive bio-based feedstocks. Dextrose, water, and compressed air is continuously pumped into our enzyme oxidation reactor where engineered enzymes begin the conversion.
Built for upstream energy applications. TerraForge delivers molecules that protect field equipment, recover flow assurance, and slash operating cost — without the truck-rolls of conventional chemistry.
Defensible, on-demand molecules for aerospace and defense applications. Designed for austere environments and the tactical edge, with a footprint that's low-detectable and logistically light.
Final-formulation and blending. Takes the output of any upstream Forge and turns it into ready-to-ship product — finished, quality-controlled, and on-spec.
Three industries where supply-chain resilience and molecular performance are non-negotiable.
Our model helps output and accelerate chemical products that are proven out the gate.
Socratic problem assessment — we start by listening to the operator.
Our problem assessment lets production lead directly into requirements.
Rapid scale-up of a new solution, with on-going technical services baked in.
Support through existing problems — molecule-by-molecule, site-by-site.
From operator to executive, we speak the language of the mission.
Regionally defined production removes single points of failure.
Biocatalytic pathways eliminate the legacy waste streams of petrochemistry.
Modules ship pre-fabricated and go live in weeks, not years.
Build capacity where the customer needs it — not where the feedstock happens to be.
Compact, quiet, and operationally unobtrusive — critical for tactical and remote sites.
At Solugen, we believe that planet-scale change starts at the molecular level. Harnessing the power of biology and chemistry, we are reimagining how life's essential materials are manufactured — with the world's first sustainable chemical plant.
By bringing high-performing, cost-competitive, sustainable products to market, we aim to combat climate change, spur economic growth, and bolster domestic manufacturing.
"As a physician-scientist, I took an oath to first do no harm — and for me, that goes beyond patients or medicine."
