PROCESS DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT The Marchionni srl company of Manfredonia offers design and

development services for industrial biotechnologies with low environmental

impact, plants for the treatment of wastewater and civil and industrial

water and analytical services for the control of food and agro-industrial

processes and products and by-products. The experiences gained in the

design and development of industrial biotechnologies and in the research

projects of innovative technologies in the industrial field have resulted in

numerous realizations of industrial plants.

PROCESS DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT
Treatment of civil and industrial wastewater and
water Marchionni srl has performed 40 purification
plants for car wash water in service stations with its
own industrial patent and 50 systems for the
treatment of wastewater and water in food
industries and civil settlements.
Biogas and fertilizers from water and pomace from
olive processing and other vegetable substrates
Marchionni srl, as part of the ABSIDE project Decr.
Dir. N ° 625 / ric 8/10/2012 of the MIUR, has
developed an innovative system for the
production of biogas from the vegetation waters
of the olives and pomace. The system included
preliminary stages of abatement of polyphenolic
components and enzymatic hydrolysis and the
construction of a sequential laboratory digester
prototype.
Inulin extraction and biogas production from
Jerusalem artichoke Marchionni srl has developed
a technology for inulin extraction in the laboratory
and presented the first project to use Jerusalem
artichoke to produce fructose. In 2010 the
company started an agronomic experimentation
on the Jerusalem artichoke cultivation in the areas
of Ripalta (FG), Benevento, Montescaglioso (MT).
Production process of "Yeast end Yeast extract"
from lactic yeast (whey fermentation) Marchionni
srl has developed a system for the production of
lactic yeast (kluyveromices marxianus). Lactic
yeast is obtained from whey, scotta, spinning
water. It uses lactose and lactic acid with
ammonia as a source of azoto. The yeast is
separated by centrifugation, and subjected to
drying with a spry dryer; alternatively it is subjected
to autolysis and sent to the spry dryer for the
production of yeast extract.
Process of production of biogas from whey and
new food formulations applied to whey proteins
and prickly pear Marchionni srl, as part of project
5440 of 24/6/03 funded by MIUR and carried out
for SILAC srl of Manfredonia, has designed and
built a 250 mc biogas bioreactor, a solar
bioreactor for the conversion of carbon dioxide, a
scrubber for the production of biomethane from
biogas and a whey protein separation plant for a
novel food study applied to whey proteins and
prickly pear .
Digesters and mini-digesters for the biomethane
production process from biogas and nitrogen
fertilizers Marchionni srl has developed a
technology for the production and purification of
biogas that allows to raise the methane content
up to 95%. This process is applicable to digesters
and microdigesters (from 10 to 80 Kw) for barn
slurry, buffalo farms, vaccines, piggies and to all
potentially degradable substrates. The system also
allows the reduction of nitrogen, through the
stripping of ammonia for the recovery of nitrogen
fertilizers.

Giuseppe Marchionni, doctor in
industrial chemistry, held positions from
1971-1978 as Head of the industrial
production department of amino acids
and Head of the quality control and
research and development laboratory
at Ajnomoto Insud spa, Head of the
Rasa Realtur SpA Research Center of
the plant pilot for the production of
proteins from microorganisms (project
finalized by the National Research
Council) and, in collaboration with
ENEA, for the production of Rhizobium
Japonicum for the bacterialization of
soybeans.
Since 1978, Dr. Marchionni has been
involved in the design and development
of biotechnologies, founding a

company of chemical, physical and
microbiological analysis services and
technology transfer services to
companies. Since then the company
has evolved from the professional
studio dimension to the current limited
liability company and, on its own and
with the partnership of universities,
private companies and national
research centers, has developed and
patented innovative technologies and
new processes for energy recovery.

Alternative energies produced from renewable
sources are: solar energy, wind energy,
hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, biomass
energy, tidal and wave energy. The most
significant benefits of renewable energy affect the
health of the environment and directly that of
humans. A considerable benefit of renewable
energies is their availability and their practically
infinite duration. Furthermore, unlike fossil fuels, the
use of renewable energy sources does not
generate polluting by-products and does not
produce carbon dioxide emissions into the
atmosphere, one of the main causes of the
greenhouse effect and global warming.
BIOFUELS FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES,
PYROLYSIS FLASH AND SYNGAS
The Marchionni srl company works in the research
of new alternative and renewable energy sources,
from the design, construction and management of
ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY
plants for the production of low environmental
impact energy.
The research activity of alternative renewable
energy sources of Marchionni srl, in collaboration
with research bodies, private companies and
universities, is part of the general objective of
implementing an agricultural and industrial system
and agro-industrial transformation that gives high
added values and that is eco-sustainable and has
a low, if not zero, environmental impact. Our

Marchionni srl has used both matrices coming from
the residues of the agricultural, olive and dairy
chain (such as olive vegetation waters, whey,
scotta, etc.) very present and easily available in
the area to convert them into biofuels and
therefore electricity and extract nutrients for the
preparation of novel food, both matrices coming
from the residues of the industrial chain for the
production of energy with low environmental
impact. Dr. Giuseppe Marchionni, author and
research director, holds several industrial patents
and has been conducting research on biofuels for
years. The production of biodiesel through
enzymatic transesterification on waste vegetable
oils is currently under study in collaboration with the
Department of Chemistry of the University of
Cagliari.
