Bioreactor for the production of microorganisms

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a novel bioreactor design for producing microorganisms, featuring a transparent film tube that is securely sealed with an improved closure system. The closure includes a sealing board with built-in terminals for fluid and gas connections and a special locking ring, which together provide leak-proof, reliable, and easy-to-maintain operation. The design eliminates common issues such as clogging, leakage, and dead zones that hinder even mixing and efficient microorganism cultivation.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Cultivation of algae and cyanobacteria for biofuel or environmental remediation applications.
• Biotechnological production of microorganisms for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or cosmetics.
• Fermentation processes in the food and beverage industry (e.g., for beer, spirits, or specialty foods).
