The potential yield of BSF larvae protein powder

Ever wondered about the potential yield of BSF larvae protein powder? Let's crunch the numbers and explore the transformative power of waste-to-protein solutions! 

Let’s take 100 kg of brewery waste for example, on average, a small brewery might produce several hundred kg to a few tons of waste per day, while larger industrial breweries could generate significantly more. 

To estimate the amount of BSF larvae protein powder that can be generated from 100 kg of brewery waste, we need to consider the conversion efficiency of the black soldier fly (BSF) larvae in converting the waste into protein.

BSF larvae are efficient converters of organic waste into protein-rich biomass. They can convert a significant portion of the organic matter they consume into their own biomass, which is high in protein content. The conversion efficiency of BSF larvae can vary depending on factors such as temperature, moisture content, and the composition of the waste. However, a common estimate is that BSF larvae can convert around 25-30% of their initial weight in organic waste into biomass. Let's assume a conservative conversion efficiency of 25% for BSF larvae, which would result in 25 kg biomass.

Now, the protein content of BSF larvae biomass can vary but typically ranges around 85%. Therefore, from each 100 kg of brewery waste, approximately 21.25 kg of BSF larvae protein powder with a protein concentration starting from 40%,with LIVIN farms technology we manage a 55%, can be generated resulting in significant revenue and a sustainable waste management solution.
