Fermentation
Industrial processes based on fermentation are a major, mixer intensive segment of the Chemical Process Industries, and many products are produced via fermentation. Fermentation uses micro-organisms to convert carbon or nitrogen based raw materials into new products. The two main types of fermentation are:
- Aerobic fermentations, which require the presence of oxygen, such as antibiotics, proteins, amino acids, enzymes, lysine, and yeasts.
- Anaerobic fermentations, which are carried out in the absence of oxygen, such as ethanol, beer, and biofuels
Applications:
- Seed Tanks
- Inoculum Tanks
- Aerobic Fermenters
- Anaerobic Fermenters
- Bio-Based Fermentation
- Enzyme Production
