Industrial Fermenter

Product Details:

A batch of culture medium in a fermenter is inoculated with a microorganism (the starter culture). The fermentation proceeds for a certain duration (the fermentation time or batch time), and the product is harvested.Batch fermentations typically extend over 4–5 days, but some traditional food fermentations may last months. In fed-batch fermentations, sterile culture medium is added either continuously or periodically to the inoculated fermentation batch. The volume of the fermenting broth increases with each addition of the medium, and the fermenter is harvested after the batch time
