About Industrial Bioreactor and Fermentor
Pilot and lab scale bioprocess fermentation systems are customized according to customer needs and applications to provide the best solutions. Likely applications are cell culture, biofuel processing, microbial fermentation, waste treatment, biopolymer production and biogas production from biomass.
Optimal Material and Hygienic DesignUsing high-grade stainless steel 316L/304 and an internal mirror polish finish (Ra < 0.6m), this bioreactor ensures exceptional corrosion resistance and microbial control. The sanitary, aseptic configuration with steam trap sampling and thermal insulation provides a contamination-free, stable bioprocessing environment, critical for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
Advanced Control and AutomationEquipped with a PLC/SCADA-based automation system, the bioreactor offers real-time pH/DO monitoring, accurate dosing, and immediate adjustments for temperature and gas flow. Automated CIP/SIP cycles, data logging with optional cloud integration, and digital touch HMI streamline both operation and regulatory compliance.
Adaptability for Multiple ApplicationsConfigurable port sizes, variable agitation (10-500 rpm), and multiple control modes accommodate a wide spectrum of cultures and production styles-batch, fed-batch, or continuous processes. Suitable for use in enzyme production, research, fermentation, and scale-up studies, the vessel accommodates volumes from 50-2000L.
FAQ's of Industrial Bioreactor and Fermentor:
Q: How does the stainless steel industrial bioreactor ensure contamination control during operation?
A: The vessel is constructed from SS316L/304 with an internal mirror polish (Ra < 0.6m) for easy cleaning and reduced microbial adhesion. Sterilization is performed with SIP (Steam in Place) and optional CIP (Clean in Place) systems, while sanitary, aseptic sampling valves with steam traps further safeguard the integrity of your culture.
Q: What types of processes and cultures can be performed in this fermentor?
A: This equipment supports batch, fed-batch, and continuous operations, suitable for culturing microorganisms, microbial, animal, and plant cells. It is widely applied in biotechnology, pharmaceutical production, fermentation studies, research, and enzyme manufacturing.
Q: Where can the bioreactor be installed and what installation support is provided?
A: The fermentor is designed for floor-standing installation in industrial settings such as biotech labs, pharma plants, and research institutes. Comprehensive on-site installation and operator training are provided, along with remote diagnostics and ongoing technical support.
Q: How is process control and data management handled in this system?
A: Automated PLC/SCADA controls manage all critical parameters, including pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, agitation, and level. Process data is logged internally and can be accessed remotely, with optional cloud integration for easy monitoring, reporting, and traceability.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a mechanical shaft seal with counterflush and integrated safety features?
A: The mechanical shaft seal with counterflush prevents leaks during high-speed agitation, ensuring both product safety and operator protection. Integrated features like pressure relief valves, emergency shutdown, and over-temperature protection enhance operational reliability and safety.
Q: When and how can a user perform sterilization and cleaning cycles?
A: Sterilization (SIP) and cleaning (CIP, optional) cycles can be initiated through the automated control interface before or after batches. The precise control and sequence automation guarantee proper sterilization, ensuring consistent batch quality and compliance with industry standards.
