Solid state Fermentation plant for Azymus –Chamarajanagar

Project Overview

Koji fermentation plant for various enzymes production of 500 kg /batch was designed ,fabricated, tested and commissioned. The components of the plant were:

a. Solid medium cleaning and charging system.

b. SS rotary sterilizer of 1000 liter capacity to mix and sterilizer  to mix and sterilize the solid support media and nutrients. The rotary action of the sterilizer insured uniform mixing and heat transfer.

c. Seed fermenters (150 ltr cap.) to prepare Inoculum were supplied. The fermenters were equipped with in-situ sterilization, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen monitoring and control system and foam control with suitable peristaltic  pumps.

d. Koji fermenter to handle 200 trays equipped with temperature, relative humidity air flow monitoring and control systems and humidifier were provided.

e. For downstream processing, extraction system and centrifuges of matching capacities were supplied.

f. Water treatment plant, boiler, compressor, storage tanks with pumps and required laboratory instruments, equipment and glassware were in the scope of supply.
