PROREACT BIOREACTORS FOR FERMENTATION WITH CORROSIVE MEDIA
SPECIAL DESIGN
The sensor ports are made of PVDF, sensors are partly made of glass, Hastelloy or titanium materials. An integrated microfiltration is carried out with a coated chemical pump. The agitator technology is also made of hybrid materials with plastic surface.
In the version shown, the fermenter system, which can also be used as a reaction system for the processing of bioproduction, is resistant to most chemicals and salts even at higher temperatures.
The right material for every need
In addition to the hybrid versions, we also offer the plants, including the piping systems and bioreactor equipment, in a design that consists exclusively of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
We would be pleased to analyze your special task and carry out appropriate material tests in our own laboratories or at partner institutes to find the ideal material for you.
DESIGN VARIANTS
We have often been confronted with the question of cultivation or bio-hybrid processes in corrosive media at our customers or in research cooperations. Examples are marine biotechnology, fermentations with halophilic production organisms or combined processes with fermentation and subsequent product preparation under corrosive conditions.
Conventional bioreactors are not suitable to conduct such processes. We have therefore addressed these issues and found suitable solutions for a variety of problems. In addition to the process-technical features, special attention was paid to the choice of materials.
We offer our customers the following material variants for corrosion-resistant PROREACT fermenters:
- Highly corrosion-resistant steels such as 2.4602 (Hastelloy)
- Duplex steels like 1.4410 (Superduplex)
- Seawater steels like 1.4529
- Fluoropolymer-coated stainless steel
- Full plastic systems (only for auto-sterile processes)
The hygienic design and the available equipment can also be selected for the corrosion-resistant version from the catalog for the basic PROREACT G, P, B and C versions.
