Fermentation
Bioreactors - Reliable and Efficient
In fermentation processes, substances such as enzymes, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), amino acids or vitamins are produced as metabolites of animal or plant microorganisms. To increase productivity in the process, the microorganisms must be supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients. In addition, by-products such as carbon dioxide must be removed, and ideal temperature and pH conditions must be maintained.
