We offer a range of sophisticated solid-state fermentation systems.

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) holds tremendous potential for the manufacture of several products. It is of special interest in those processes where the crude fermented products may be used directly.

It offers numerous advantages over submerged fermentation (SmF), including high volumetric productivity, relatively higher concentration of the products, less effluent generation, requirement for simple fermentation equipments, etc. It is an eco-friendly process since it utilizes agro-industrial residues as substrates.

SSF processes are distinct from SmF culturing, since microbial growth and product formation occurs at or near the surface of the solid substrate particle, which has low moisture content. It is therefore crucial to provide optimized water content, and control the water activity of the fermenting substrate.

Over the years, different types of bioreactors such as pan, tray, drum & deep-trough have been employed as SSF systems.

We offer a simple and practical fermenter with automation. Factors considered in our design include :-
1. Pre-treatment of the substrate
2. Maintenance of uniformity in the environment of the SSF system
3. Monitoring & control of relative humidity
4. Monitoring & control of temperature of fermenting matter & removal of metabolic heat
5. Monitoring & control of pH
6. Monitoring & control of the gaseous atmosphere, i.e. oxygen consumption rate and carbon dioxide evolution rate

Some other design considerations include :-
1. Capital investment
2. Achieving high yields
3. Suitability for high temperature cultivation
4. Suitability for use with genetically improved strains

Wide range of systems are available to suit the lab scale, pilot plant scale & commercial scale.

We offer a range of fibrous bed bioreactors.
They are used for the production of anchorage dependent and suspension cultures. Most cells and tissues, especially mammalian, must have a surface or other structural support in order to grow.
Our range of fibrous bed bioreactors offer the advantage of shielding the cells from turbulence. Hence they can grow more profusely, giving much higher yields than in suspension.
Models offered: 3, 5 & 10 litres.

Salient features include:1. Can be used for virtually any application in the culture of animal cells.2. Suitable for growing high density cultures.3. Significantly low lag phase due to rapid adherence of cells on fibrous disks.4. Three dimensional growth within the fibrous matrix provided.5. Variety of on-line instruments available for monitoring of fermentation parameters.6. Long production runs can be maintained to increase productivity.7. Easy to operate, clean and store.8. Low maintenance, low power consumption, works on single phase power.

We manufacture benchtop autoclavable internal illuminated photobioreactors (IIPBR) with carbon dioxide supplementation, as per our proprietory design.

Conventional bioreactor designs such as bubble column reactors & immobilized bed reactors are both unsuitable for root cultures, due to inherent design limitations of mass transfer of nutrients & carbon dioxide. Some of the other problems in these reactors are related to scale-up issues, including distribution of inoculums & product recovery.

All the above problems are overcome in our design of the equipment, which is based on the agitation-gassing principle.

Root cultures grow well in mechanically agitated systems, or stirred tank reactors, although performance can be affected due to damage done to the roots due to contact with impellers inside the reactor. However, we have overcome this limitation by designing & developing proper agitation systems to ensure gentle but adequate stirring.

Some of the other advantages in our design of photobioreactors as compared to conventional designs are :-

• Provision of internal illumination for improving biomass productivity through better utilization of light
• Sterilization of the entire assembly for aseptic operations
• Convenient aseptic sampling arrangement
• Fitment of sensors for on-line measurements of process parameters
• Ease of exhaust gas monitoring & analysis

Salient features of our product are as follows :-
1. Available in 3 sizes – 3, 5 & 7 litres (total volume)
2. Suitable for a variety of root cultures such as algae & mycorrhizae
