Bioreactor Innovation (Patent Pending)

FEATURES:

No Mechanical Mixer(s)

Savings on capital and operating costs  vs conventional stirred bioreactors. Lower energy consumption, reduced cleaning costs, less contamination risk, reduced shear stress and less foaming issues translate to higher yields and low cost of production.

Complete mixing without dead zones

Solids cannot hide out in any dead zones as the media is completely vacated from the vessel during the cycled process. 

Indifferent to Solids Concentration and Biomass Buoyancy Issues.

We know that increasing biomass concentration as well as biomass buoyancy issues are difficult to predict and expensive to accomodate with mechanical mixer(s).  By vacating the vessel contents on each cycle, the mixing process becomes indifferent to changing biomass conditions. Foaming issues are also mitigated.

Scale-Up

Connect additional tanks to add capacity. No mixer(s) mean no scale-up design required for mixers with the associated performance risk,  energy consumption and shear stress on the biomass.

Off the Shelf Equipment

Why buy costly high-end bioreactors when low cost Off the Shelf tankage will serve the same purpose. There are no vessel internals required other than the air sparger, no mixers, no baffles....nothing for biomass to attach to or hide out in deadzones. Easier to clean resulting in shorter turnaround and reduced risk of contamination.

    Typical 2 Tank Bioreactor

    The vessel with the closed vent valve pressurizes thus forcing its contents into the non-presssurized vessel with the open vent. Cycling the vent valve on each vessel causes the contents to move between the two vessels resulting in continuous mixing without the aid of mechanical mixer(s). The sparging air serves a dual purpose as both an oxygen source and the motive force for the transport and mixing of the media.

    Typical 3 Tank Bioreactor

    The vessel with the closed vent valve pressurizes which forces its contents into the non-pressurized vessel(s). Cycling the vent valves thus produces continuous mixing. For scale-up, simply connect more tanks to increase capacity and then cycle the vent valves accordingly.
