FAQs

• Both are closed systems.
• They are affected by aeration, temperature, pH, nutrition, and sterility.
• The vessels used in these systems are made of stainless steel and are cylindrical in shape.
• They promote biochemical reactions and are useful in producing different biological products.
• They are used in industries for large-scale production.

The primary use of Aeration is to provide microorganisms in submerged culture with sufficient oxygen for metabolic requirements. Agitation ensures that a uniform suspension of microbial cells is achieved in a homogenous nutrient medium. Aeration and agitation depend on fermentation.

There can be two types of cultures in a fermenter – batch or continuous, and they have been classified as a batch, fed-batch, or continuous cultures. Even, two types of fermentation can be performed in fermenters: submerged fermentation and surface fermentation. In submerged fermentation, the process occurs by microorganisms in a liquid medium, whereas in surface fermentation, the process occurs in a solid medium.

The SCADA system offers a wide range of technical features as follows: 

Specialized Version Specialized version is developed according to the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 (document from US Food and Drugs Administration). Software development is based on ARC Informative PC for industrial development packages.

The software provides the following functions:

• Data visualization in the graphical and table forms (on-line or historical data).
• Indication of the status of fermenter & bioreactor elements.
• can be exported in ASCII format for other applications.
• Off-line data adding & the control of executive devices.
• Adjusting of Set Points and other control parameters.
• Storage and display of alarms & report of all alarms, including the times of alarm appearance, acknowledgment and prevention.
• The report of operator actions, where are fixed the times of login/logout, setpoint changes, setting on/off executive devices, start/stop of process, etc.
• Access to operations is allowed only for authorized users.
• The access level of every operator is defined through passwords.

Fermentation is a metabolic process in which chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts or other microorganisms.

The main difference between bioreactor and fermentor is that bioreactor is the vessel that facilitates various types of biochemical reactions whereas the fermenter is the vessel that facilitates fermentation.

Bioreactor is an apparatus in which a chemical process is carried out which involves organisms or biochemically active substances derived from such organisms. It is used in industrial processes to produce pharmaceuticals, vaccines or antibodies.

A fermenter is a closed vessel that provides the optimum condition for the growth of micro-organism. A fermenter should provide an adequate arrangement for Aeration, Agitation, Regulation of factors like pH, temperature, pressure, nutrient feeding, sterilization, overflow vent to remove the waste biomass of cultured microorganisms along with their products.

An agitator is a blunt moving projection that stirs fluids. An impeller is a propeller in an enclosed duct or tube. An agitator will give us more random movement to the fluids, while an impeller will produce a directional flow.

3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any design in three dimensions. 3D modeling helps each part or component of a structure to be checked, tested and revised before going to production. It also helps to create a precise site for installation.

Lathe machines are machining tools that are used primarily for shaping metal or wood. The main use is to remove the unwanted parts of the material to get the desired product. It rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations like cutting, knurling, drilling, turning, etc.

TIG stands for Tungsten Inert gas. It uses an electrode separate from the filler material, the electrode is called tungsten. The inert gas we used is typically argon, or sometimes helium or a mixture. It works on a wider variety of metals than any other type of welding. It also produces the cleanest, strongest welds. Usually, there is no spark, no spatter, slag or smoke and fumes in the welding process.

The materials we used for the manufacturing of fermenters are Borosilicate glasses, SS316L for wet parts and SS304 for non-wet parts.

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.

It is a system of Software and Hardware elements that allows the industrial organization to control fermenter and bioreactor processes locally or at remote locations. Monitor, gather, and process real-time data. Directly interact with devices such as sensors, valves, pumps, motors, and more through a human-machine interface known as HMI software. Record events into a log file. It is a control system architecture comprising computers, networked data communications, and graphical user interfaces (GUI) for high-level process supervisory management, while also comprising other peripheral devices like programmable logic controllers (PLC) and discrete proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers to interface with process plant or machinery. The use of SCADA has been considered also for management and operations of project-driven-process in the construction

The developed automated system for monitoring and process control. SCADA  software is implemented on the basis of:

• Programmable logical controllers.
• The control panel has been designed with a color touch-screen monitor which is used for monitoring and management of the installation by the operator or automatically by the SCADA software. The developed SCADA system is working in real-time.

The main tasks are:

• Loading of input data and parameters of the technology process.
• Data transfer of information between the devices, PLC, and industrial computer via Ethernet and remote control via internet.
• Data archive in normal and emergency mode.

If we reuse the pH buffer solution it leads to slow responding pH probe performance. That is why we always use fresh, unused, unexpired pH buffers for calibration. Once we use the buffer solutions they are assumed to be contaminated and should not be suitable for pH calibration.

If we don’t calibrate the pH meter properly then there is no way to determine the pH value of the solution you are testing. Accurate pH measurements cannot be accomplished with a pH meter unless it has been calibrated against a standardized buffer.

We use the following methods to calibrate the pH

1.       Rinse the electrode with the deionized water and blot dry using a piece of tissue (Shur Wipes or Kim wipes are available in the labs).      
2.       Place the electrode in the solution of pH 7 buffer.
3.       Allow the display to stabilize and then set the display to read 7.
4.       Follow the above steps 3-4 times to check the accuracy.

These are the following types of industrial mixers: –

• Tumbler Blender: for dry mixing.
• Ribbon Blender: this is used for bulk solids and powder blending.
• Paddle Mixer: For solids, wet-dry mixing, viscous/slurry liquid mixing.
• Agitator: liquid-liquid mixing or liquid- gas mixing.
• Emulsifiers: for immiscible liquids.
