WHAT IS FERMENTE R?
A fermenter is a type of bioreactor that is specifically designed for microbial fermentation. It provides a controlled environment where microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi, can grow and metabolize nutrients, producing desired products such as ethanol, organic acids, or enzymes. Fermenters are equipped with agitators or impellers, sensors, controllers, and ports for nutrient addition and waste removal.
Fermenters are used in various industries, such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage production, to produce a wide range of products. They offer several advantages over traditional batch processes, including increased productivity, reproducibility, and scalability.
