SERVICES

BioPres provides expert consulting across three fundamental technical domains, combined into integrated services for complex, real‑world challenges.

Food Microbiology

Scientific understanding of microorganisms in food and ingredient production, with particular expertise in filamentous fungi and their impact on safety, quality, and shelf life. I support companies in identifying, assessing, and managing microbiological risks across raw materials, processes, and finished products.

Food Safety & Microbiological Risk

Risk‑based evaluation of ingredients, processes, and operations to support safe product design and regulatory compliance. I help translate microbiological data and uncertainty into clear risk assessments that support sound technical and business decisions.

Hygienic Design & Processing

Assessment of hygienic design and cleanability of equipment and processes in accordance with EHEDG principles. I work closely with engineering teams and equipment suppliers to reduce contamination risks through robust design, material selection, and process layout.

Integrated Expert Services

Advanced consulting services that combine microbiology, risk assessment, and hygienic design to support complex challenges such as contamination investigations, validation strategies, root‑cause analysis, and decision support in critical project phases.

These services are typically applied when multiple disciplines must work together — for example during:

  • New process or equipment implementation
  • Scale‑up or technology transfer
  • Contamination incidents or regulatory scrutiny

About

BioPres is led by Per Væggemose Nielsen, PhD, with more than 20 years of international experience within microbiology, hygienic design, food safety, and risk management.


Per has held senior roles in industry, consultancy, and academia and is known for translating complex microbiological science into practical, defensible decisions for engineers, quality, and leadership teams.
