Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation

Infors Labfors 5 SSF shares the same features as Labfors 5, with a motor and stirrer system for enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation (SSF).

Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation (SSF) can now be combined in a single system by uniting the proven technology of a microbial bioreactor with innovative development of the motor and stirrer system. This delivers ideal mixing even at very high dry-matter contents. During anaerobic fermentation, the bioreactor provides optimal conditions for the culture and comprehensive control of the bioprocess.

Key features

• Simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation
• Ideal mixing
• Easy addition of material
• SSF-optimised temperature control
• Perfect process control

Applications

• Research and development for lignocellulose-based ethanol production
• SSF process development (enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation)
• Enzyme screening and activity studies

By monitoring both the medium and the vessel wall, optimal temperature control can be ensured throughout the entire bioprocess. This prevents overheating at the vessel walls and keeps enzymatic activity high.
