Enzyme Bioreactor Fermenter

An enzyme bioreactor is a device that uses enzymes as biocatalysts to carry out biochemical reactions within a specific facility. It provides a controlled reaction environment, including maintaining temperature, pH, aeration, and agitation, to optimize the enzyme's catalytic efficiency. enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. This type of reactor is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food (such as juice fermentation), chemical, and environmental fields (such as organic pollutant degradation). Common enzyme bioreactor types include stirred tank, packed bed, fluidized bed, and membrane, each with its own specific operating methods and advantages.

Automatic Enzyme Bioreactor Fermenter

Basic Concepts

Enzyme Catalysis: Enzyme bioreactors use enzymes as biocatalysts to achieve efficient, specific, and mild catalysis by lowering the activation energy of chemical reactions.

Biological Function Simulation: This device simulates the biochemical reaction environment in vivo, efficiently completing chemical transformations in vitro.

Main Components and Functions

Reaction Vessel: Provides the reaction chamber.

Agitator: Ensures thorough mixing of the enzyme and substrate, improving reaction efficiency.

Temperature and pH Probes: Monitor and control reaction temperature and pH to maintain optimal enzyme activity. Aeration system: Supply oxygen to the reaction solution to meet the needs of aerobic reactions.

Automatic acid-base control system: Maintains the pH of the reaction system by automatically adding acid or base.

Operating Principle

Enzyme bioreactors control a series of parameters to provide optimal conditions for enzyme-catalyzed reactions. For example, in a stirred tank reactor, the enzyme and substrate are mixed in a container. Stirring and temperature control enable the enzyme to efficiently catalyze the conversion of the substrate into product.

Main Applications

Pharmaceutical Industry: Used in the production of biological agents such as drugs, antibodies, and vaccines.

Food Industry: Used in jam concentration, juice fermentation, and enzyme preparation production.

Chemical Industry: Used in the production of fine chemicals and biofuels.

Environmental Protection: Used in the degradation of organic pollutants.
