At IBHA Process Technologies Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in providing advanced, scalable, and
reliable fermentation systems tailored to the evolving needs of the biotech, pharmaceutical,
food & beverage, agriculture, and chemical industries. Our fermentation platforms are engineered
for optimal microbial growth, product yield, and process consistency—ranging from
laboratory-scale research fermenters to fully automated industrial bioreactors.
Our Fermentation Platforms
We offer customized fermentation solutions in three key modes of operation, each designed to
suit specific production goals:
1. Continuous Fermentation
Uninterrupted Productivity for High-Volume Manufacturing
Continuous fermentation maintains microbial cultures in a constant exponential growth phase by
continuously feeding fresh media and simultaneously harvesting the product. This approach is
best suited for high-throughput and low-margin products such as:
- Bioethanol
- Enzymes
- Amino acids
- Organic acids
Technical Advantages
- Consistent product quality over time
- Reduced batch downtime and manpower dependency
- Ideal for high cell density processes
- Enhanced productivity and cost-efficiency through automation
2. Batch Fermentation
Proven, Controlled & Scalable
Batch fermentation is a closed process where all nutrients are added at the start, and no
additional feed is introduced during cultivation. It's widely used in the production of
antibiotics, bioactive compounds, and fermented beverages.
Applications
- Specialty chemicals
- Probiotics and nutraceuticals
- Traditional fermentation processes
Technical Advantages
- Easier process control and validation
- Suitable for variable microbial strains
- Ideal for small to mid-scale production
- Lower risk of contamination
3. Fed-Batch Fermentation
Dynamic Process Control for Optimized Yields
Fed-batch fermentation allows the controlled addition of nutrients during the fermentation cycle
without removal of culture broth. This method effectively reduces substrate inhibition and
extends the productive growth phase.
Applications
- Recombinant protein production
- Biopharmaceuticals (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, insulin)
- Industrial enzymes
Technical Advantages
- Enhanced control over metabolic flux
- Prevents nutrient limitation or toxic accumulation
- Maximizes biomass and product concentration
- Ideal for scale-up and regulatory environments (GMP)
