Owen Catchpole
Callaghan Innovation
Affiliation
Food Processing Technology, Callaghan Innovation, 69 Gracefield Rd, Lower Hutt 5010, New Zealand
Short Bio
Owen Catchpole is Chief Engineer for the Biotechnologies Group of Research and Development Solutions within Callaghan Innovation, New Zealand. He obtained a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from the University of Canterbury (NZ) in 1986 and was then employed by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) to establish R&D capability in supercritical extraction. He obtained his PhD from Birmingham University UK in 1991, returning to New Zealand to rejoin Industrial Research Limited (IRL) which was formed out of the DSIR. In 1995/6 he helped establish New Zealand’s first commercial supercritical extraction plant. In 2006/7 his research led to ethanol co-solvent capability being added to the Nutrizeal (now Pharmalink Extracts Ltd) supercritical extraction plant. He is a Fellow of both Engineering NZ and the Royal Society of NZ, is an inventor on more than 60 patents covering extraction technologies and products and was recently awarded the Scott medal for Engineering Excellence. He has broad experience in R&D through to semi-commercial manufacture of high value products using advanced processing technologies using supercritical CO2, propane and dimethyl ether as solvents. His current major research programs are the ‘Bioresource Processing Alliance’ to recover value from by-product streams and ‘Cyber-Marine’ to design the fish processing factory of the future.
