Plasma-derived therapy manufacturing

Medicines made from donated human plasma — collection, screening, fractionation, purification and fill-finish — a commercial-scale industry with a reported 20 % CAGR in immunoglobulins, partly displaced by recombinant products for coagulation factors.

1 · What it gives

Plasma-derived therapies are medicines made from human plasma collected through donation; plasma cannot be manufactured in a laboratory. The process runs from collection and testing through fractionation, purification, filling and packaging. The industry is at commercial scale, with major companies investing in infrastructure and capacity; the immunoglobulin market is reported at a 20 % CAGR. For coagulation factors, plasma-derived products are in some cases being replaced by recombinant alternatives.

2 · What it replaces 6

D1Fermentation (stainless and single-use bioreactors, solid-state reactors) and downstream equipment (centrifuges, filtration, spray and fluid-bed drying, formulation) for local production of enzymes, microbial products and fermentation ingredients instead of chemical-synthesis plants and imports
Replaces: Chemical-synthesis routes and imports for the products in FI-, FD-, I- and A-series articles (enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, microbial …
EAC
D1Lower-toxicity textile dyeing and dye-effluent treatment with biological methods — bio-based indigo reduction and enzymatic indigo routes, microbial pigments, and biological decolorization of dye effluent — instead of sodium dithionite reduction, aniline-derived synthetic indigo and untreated/chemically treated dye effluent
Replaces: Sodium dithionite (hydrosulfite) for indigo vat reduction, synthetic indigo made from aniline (traces of aniline in dyed denim), some azo …
CHEM
D1Recovered phosphorus (struvite and other recovered phosphates from biological wastewater and digester streams) instead of fertilizer made from cadmium-bearing phosphate rock
Replaces: A share of DAP/MAP/superphosphate made from mined phosphate rock; chemical P-removal with iron and aluminium salts at treatment plants …
AGROCHEM
D2Dairy mastitis prevention with selective dry-cow therapy, internal teat sealants and bacteriocin (nisin) teat disinfection
Replaces: Blanket dry-cow antibiotic therapy (all quarters, all cows: cloxacillin, cephalosporins incl. 3rd/4th generation, penicillin–aminoglycoside …
VET
D2Refractory gold ore processing by bacterial biooxidation (BIOX® and similar tank bioleaching) — instead of roasting; with biological cyanide destruction of tailings water
Replaces: Roasting of arsenopyrite/pyrite gold concentrates (emissions of SO2 and arsenic trioxide), partly pressure oxidation (energy-intensive); …
SERV
D0Bacteriophage therapy for bacterial disease in fish and shrimp farming instead of medicated-feed antibiotics
Replaces: Antibiotics in medicated feed and bath treatments - oxytetracycline, florfenicol, oxolinic acid, enrofloxacin, sulfonamide-trimethoprim …
