TUBINGS FOR FERMENTOR


Tubings play very important roles in fermentation technology. It connects the fermentor with the environment. It could be considered the vascular system of the fermentor. We see tubings carrying out the roles of:
1 Supplying acids and alkalis to control ph
2 Supplying air to the fermentor
3 Sampling system
4 Providing water to water jacket for thermo regulation

The tubing material that is suitable should be:
1 Inert
2 Resist air diffusion
3 Not brittle
4 Can with stand chemical and solvents
5 Withstand heat and repeated sterilizations
6 Withstand pressure
