Microbial Fermentation - O2-Enrichment

Utilizing two flow paths for air and O2 flow, the flow meter intuitively indicates and allows manual adjustment of the sparger flow rate. O2 is pulsed through a solenoid valve and flows only as needed to maintain the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) set point. No air is provided at this time.

A mass flow controller can be integrated to measure and control the total gas flow range by manual adjustment or automatically combined with a DO controller.

Sparger - Air: Max. design 1vvm
Sparger - O2: Max. design 0.2vvm

Gassing Strategy Diagram for Microbial Fermentation

Cell Culture - Additive Flow

Simultaneous gassing strategy of overlay and sparger: air goes into overlay through a flow meter and a solenoid valve. Solenoid valves select air, O2, N2 and CO2 to flow to the sparger. An additional airflow path can be added to the distributor. Mass flowmeter is optional for each gas inlet.

Overlay - Air: Max. design 1vvm
