Micro-Perforation Design: The disc features micro-perforations with a diameter of 2 micrometers (um), enabling precise control of gas flow and distribution. These ultra-fine perforations ensure uniform dispersion of gases throughout the culture broth, promoting efficient oxygen transfer and carbon dioxide removal. This level of control enhances cell growth rates and product formation, leading to improved fermentation outcomes.

Optimal Aeration Efficiency: The specialized design of the gas distribution disc facilitates enhanced mixing of the gas and liquid phases within the fermentor. This promotes efficient gas-liquid interaction, maximizing aeration efficiency and ensuring homogeneity of the culture broth. The result is an improved oxygen supply to microbial cells, enhancing their metabolic activity and overall fermentation performance.

(1) mechanically stirred sparged fermentor, (2) bubble column fermentor, and (3) loop fermentor.

The mechanically stirred sparged fermentor is widely used for various aerobic fermentations. It involves the sparging of gas, typically air, into the agitated broth. On the other hand, the bubble column fermentor is a cylindrical vessel where gas is bubbled through a liquid medium. It can operate continuously with either counter-current or co-current flows of liquid and gas. Lastly, the loop fermentor utilizes the difference in average densities between the gassed and ungassed sections or employs pumps or fluid jets to recirculate the liquid.

These three types of fermentors offer distinct advantages in optimizing aerobic fermentation processes. Mechanically stirred sparged fermentors ensure efficient gas-liquid contact through sparging and agitation. Bubble column fermentors facilitate mass transfer and heat transfer between the gas and liquid phases. Loop fermentors promote enhanced gas-liquid mixing and facilitate efficient oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal.
