Fermentation Tanks: The Core Vessel of Modern Bioprocessing

The design and operation of fermentation tanks are critical to the yield, purity, and scalability of products ranging from life-saving antibiotics and vaccines to beer, yogurt, and biofuels.

A standard fermentation tank is a sterile, closed vessel designed to maintain ideal conditions for biological activity.

As the bioeconomy grows and demand for sustainably produced biologics, food ingredients, and chemicals increases, the fermentation tank will remain the fundamental unit operation.
