CCUR

The Center for Crops Utilization Research (CCUR) is home to some of the best laboratory, processing, and training facilities at Iowa State University. 14,000 square feet of pilot plant processing and support space is available for fermentation and product recovery (bench scale to thousand liter pilot scale), food processing (wet and dry), and industrial product development, CCUR provides companies access to our facility to bring their ideas to the next level... On July 1, 1984, the Iowa Legislature appropriated $200,000 to establish the Center for Crops Utilization Research (CCUR) at Iowa State University. Since its inception, CCUR has been focused on successful technology transfer to industry by utilizing pilot plant facilities designed to demonstrate proof-of-concept by scaling up lab studies into commercially viable processes and products. In 1989 to 1993, CCUR raised $18 million to build new pilot-scale processing plants, the first-in-its-kind state of art pilot plant facilities..
