Pierre Guerin 3000L Fermenter

Key Features & Components
Main Fermentation Vessel – 3000 L

Jacketed, 316L stainless steel construction
with polished internal finish, conical bottom,
and integrated CIP/SIP capabilities.

Seed Vessel (Inoculum Tank)
Smaller capacity vessel enabling staged process start-up for optimal culture transfer.

Agitation System
Variable-speed agitator (mechanical or magnetic drive)
with low-shear mixing capability for diverse culture types.

Temperature Control
Full jacket for heating and cooling with steam
or glycol for precise temperature management throughout the batch.

Instrumentation Suite
pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pressure,
and foam sensors for real-time monitoring and closed-loop control.

Process Piping & Valves
Sanitary pipework and automated valve manifolds
for controlled delivery of gases, nutrients, antifoam, and pH control agents.

Pumps & Dosing Systems
Multiple peristaltic or diaphragm pumps
for accurate, programmable feeding and reagent dosing.

Control System
PLC-based control platform with touchscreen HMI
for batch automation, recipe management,
data logging, and potential SCADA integration.

CIP/SIP Systems
Integrated Clean-in-Place and Steam-in-Place functionality
for rapid sterilization and minimal downtime between batches.

Applications
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing
(vaccines, recombinant proteins, enzymes)

Industrial biotechnology (biofuels, organic acids, specialty chemicals)

Pilot-to-commercial scale fermentation processes

Advantages
Scalable & Flexible – Dual-vessel design supports smooth inoculation scale-up.

GMP-Ready – Sanitary construction and automation aligned with regulatory standards.

High Throughput – Optimized for continuous, high-volume production.
