C-BIO2 SCADA system

Sysbiotech pilot scale Gas-Fermenter was specially designed for the process of microorganisms cultivation in strictly anaerobic or facultative anaerobic conditions. In this process gas have to be carefully supply and control during cultivating.

System has mass flow controllers on all inlet lines to optimize gas supply with accordance to metabolic needs of microorganism.

Exhaust gas-line equipped with on-line gas analyzers for continues monitoring of gas-contents in exhaust gas-mixture.

On-line sensors allow to monitor and control pH, DO, temperature, ORP, Optical density. Other sensors can be add by request.

To achieve the best mixing conditions we offer different kinds of agitators like Rushton, marine or screw impellers, which can be use separately or in combination with each other.

H/D ration up to 7 was specially developed to achive better conditions for dissolving of inlet gases into media.

System can be designed for Explosion-proof conditions.

Controller system allows to manage and optimize cultivating conditions for CO, CO2, CH4 and another gases of fermentation process.
