Applications

Different bacteria have different process requirements - Bioengineering builds the optimal fermentation system for every microorganism.

• Bioengineering designs and builds customized stainless steel fermentors for microbial cultivation (bacteria, archaea, yeast, extremophiles) with capacities from 30 to 50,000 liters.
• Typical vessel geometry: h : d = 3 : 1.
• Oxygen supply, stirrer dimensioning, heating and cooling circuit: These are critical factors for challenging microbial cultures. Often, a high material transition coefficient (kLa value) must be achieved with high power input. Bioengineering can support you with expert knowledge and CFD simulations.
• With over 50 years of experience, Bioengineering develops aeration strategies, ensuring optimal oxygen supply for your microorganism and process.
• Anaerobic or with high oxygen demand, high foam development, bio-safety requirements, high metabolic heat, continuous fermentation, GMP production, high cell density – you name the issue, Bioengineering will come up with the solution.
• Dosage vessels for corrective agents such as acids, bases and anti-foams are standard system features, and are fully integrated into the fermentation system.
• Short heating and cooling periods are a priority for us in order to avoid negative effects on culture media and process duration.
