Fermentation

Fermentation is a complex biological process in which microorganisms or cell cultures grow under controlled conditions and produce valuable products such as enzymes, proteins, active pharmaceutical ingredients or biopolymers. Precise control of temperature, pH value, oxygen supply, stirring speed and nutrient supply is essential to ensure optimum growth conditions and avoid contamination. Challenges such as varying cell growth rates, oxygen limitation, foaming or metabolite formation can be efficiently addressed through automation.

Range of services:

• Precise process control:automatic control of temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen (DO), stirring speed and aeration
• Automated substrate and inductor addition:optimized nutrient supply based on real-time data
• Online monitoring:sensors for biomass concentration, metabolite formation, gas composition and pH regulation
• Foam management:automatic detection and targeted antifoam dosing
• Sterile design:fully automatic CIP/SIP systems to prevent contamination
• Expandability:integration with downstream purification processes (filtration, chromatography)

Advantages of automation:

• Greater process stability:constant growth conditions for maximum productivity
• Optimum product quality:real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of process parameters
• Safe working:contamination protection, warning messages and automatic emergency shutdown
• Increased efficiency:reduction of raw material and energy consumption through optimized process control
• Complete documentation:automatic logging of all process parameters for quality control and scaling
