## About

Based in Southampton, UK, and founded in 2020 by Stephen Brooks, Sonichem Technologies Ltd., formerly known as Bio-Sep Ltd., is a biotechnology company that converts low-value biomass like sawdust, hard and soft woods, sugar cane bagasse, straws, and grasses into bio-sourced chemicals used in bio-based materials, medication, cosmetics, and dental products. In February 2024, Sonichem Technologies Ltd. raised EUR 1.4 million in pre-series A funding from ACF Ventures. As of 2024, Adrian Black is the CEO of the company. 

The company’s product line includes microcrystalline cellulose extracted from sustainably sourced softwood, natural lignin extracted from spruce softwood, and hemicellulose hydrolysate extracted from softwood containing a mix of the sugar mannose, xylose, arabinose, and glucose.

Sonichem plans to use its proceeds from 2024 funding to improve its technology and advance its plan to construct a biorefinery plant.
