Microbial Fermentation - O2-Enrichment

Two Gas Sources (Air & Oxygen) + Single Bottom Sparger

Air Supply: Flow rate automatically adjusted via MFC (Mass Flow Controller).
Oxygen Supply:
- Manually regulated by a rotameter (rotary flow meter).
- On/off control via solenoid valve for automated operation.
Gas Mixing & Delivery:
- The two gas streams merge into a single line.
- Pass through a 0.2 μm sterile filter for contamination control.
- Enter the vessel via a bottom-mounted ring sparger for efficient gas-liquid contact.

Cell Culture - Additive Flow

Four Gas Sources (Air, CO₂, N₂, O₂) + Dual Delivery (Overlay & Sparger)

Air Supply – Overlay (Surface Aeration)
- A split air stream is manually adjusted via a rotameter (rotary flow meter).
- Filtered through a 0.2 μm sterile filter.
- Delivered to the headspace (overlay) of the vessel.
Automated Gas Blending – Bottom Sparger
- Gases: Air, O₂, N₂, CO₂. Each gas is controlled by an individual solenoid valve (only one valve opens at any time)
- The selected gas merges into a single line, with total flow regulated by a master MFC (Mass Flow Controller).
- The blended gas passes through a 0.2 μm sterile filter.
- Enters the vessel via a bottom ring sparger for efficient gas-liquid contact.
Control Logic
- DO/pH Regulation: Achieved by adjusting the time-proportioned opening of each solenoid valve.
- Exclusive Actuation: Only one solenoid valve is active at any given moment to prevent gas mixing before the MFC.
