Fermentation tanks and bioreactors are quoted against process requirements — volume, sterilization, control loops and contact materials. This page lists what UnionClay supplies in this family and what to state in your inquiry.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
Documentation: Specify any required certification or conformity documents in your inquiry. Their availability must be confirmed for the quoted configuration. No CE declaration or certificate number is published on this page.
Site requirements: State your cooling-water, vacuum and electrical requirements, and identify any supporting equipment required in the quotation.
What to Tell Us for an Accurate Quote
| Item | What to state |
|---|---|
| Working volume | State the total vessel volume and required working volume; available sizes depend on the vessel type and selected model. |
| Contact materials | Materials vary by vessel type. The preparation/enzyme-hydrolysis tank lists a 316L stainless steel vessel with a 304 stainless steel jacket; the stainless steel fermenter lists 316L/304 stainless steel. Confirm the materials for the quoted configuration. |
| Sterilization | In-place steam sterilization is listed for the stainless steel fermenter. The multi-vessel glass fermenter lists off-site autoclave sterilization. Confirm the method for the selected vessel type. |
| Configuration items to confirm | The stainless steel fermenter lists temperature, stirring speed, pH, dissolved oxygen, antifoam, feeding, air flow and tank pressure as basic configuration items. Confirm the supplied functions and whether each is manual or automatic. |
| Sterilization and cleaning ports | Confirm port and valve layout against the selected model. |
| Power supply | State your site voltage and frequency; confirm against the selected model. |
Send these with your inquiry through the contact page; the more complete the list, the closer the first quote lands.
