Company registered at Companies House
A spinout company from the University of Sheffield. Registered during the grant period, Perlemax was created to exploit the two patents on which this grant is based: energy efficient microbubbles and plasma microreactors. The microbubble patent was transferred with the shareholders' agreement in January 2011, and the plasma microreactor patent is being transferred in July 2012. Perlemax is seeking to form a joint venture company with a water sector services company to exploit the patents in the municipal wastewater / water treatment sector.
Perlemax develops technology relating to the uses of microbubbles, which dramatically increase the transfer of gas into a liquid. The are micron sized bubbles have many applications from enhancing biofuel production, reducing energy usage and generating o
Spinout company created for R&D commercial development of the patents.

This project will investigate the application of microbubbles for the continuous removal of ethanol from cultures of a thermophilic bacterium which is known to grow well on lignocellulosic feedstocks (eg food processing wastes or treated municipal solid waste.) Perelemax Ltd have invented a novel method for the inexpensive generation of microbubbles, bubb...

This project seeks to address water quality issues in the waste water and aquaculture industry (i.e. fish and shell fish farming) by the application of a novel aeration technology originally developed for the hydrogen fuel cell industry. The technology consists of devices for the rapid generation, mixing and beak down of microbubbles in water. Specificall...

As a society, we are wasting a lot of food with global food wastage estimated at 2 billion tonnes p.a. Growing population and the growth of the middle class is only going to increase this problem. That which cannot be repurposed as animal feed is mitigated using appropriate waste treatment facilities. One of these strategies is to use an airtight containe...

Plasma processing is widespread for high performance materials, but has increasing applications for chemical products and intermediates. For the most common type of plasma reactor -- the dielectric barrier discharge -- to be durable for the continuous production of chemicals over a long lifetime, the dielectric coating must be robust in material selection...

Design and construct ion of a bacterial process with an integrated Microbubble distillation system to convert complex sugary feedstocks and crude glycerol to acetaldehyde (AcAld). AcAld is a desirable product because it can be used as the entry point for the synthesis of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, butanol, butyraldehyde, crotonaldehyde, ethyl acetate,...

Energy efficient microbubbles generated by fluidic oscillation are a recent advance in bio/chemical processing, with applications to lab and industrial scale bioreactors. Because the microbubbles are generated cheaply and controllably, they have been shown at the lab scale to lead to substantially lower costs / higher productivity for transfer processes i...

Perlemax is a spin-out from the University of Sheffield. Perlemax's technology was born out of the world renowned work on fluid dynamics. This Proof of Market study seeks to address the commercial viability for pyrolysis oil (a biomass by-product) as a low-cost readily available biofuel. Its potential impacts are enormous, delivering upon waste minimisati...
