Laboratory water purification systems have the following applications in the fermentation industry:  

Culture medium preparation  

Ensuring nutritional balance: During fermentation, the growth and metabolism of microorganisms require specific nutrients. The pure water produced by laboratory pure water machines ensures the accurate concentration of various nutrients in the culture medium, avoiding interference from impurities in the water that could affect microbial absorption and utilization of nutrients. This ensures normal microbial growth and metabolic processes, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and product quality.INNOVA can provide instruments related to culture medium preparation.

Preventing microbial contamination: The sterile properties of pure water reduce the risk of contamination by foreign microorganisms, providing a relatively pure environment for microbial growth and facilitating the stable progression of the fermentation process.

Dilution and Analysis of Fermentation Broth

Accurate Dilution: During the fermentation process, it is necessary to dilute the fermentation broth to facilitate subsequent analysis and testing. Using pure water for dilution ensures accuracy and prevents impurities in the water from affecting the accuracy of test results.

Analysis and Testing: The analysis and testing of various components in fermentation broth, such as sugar content, alcohol content, and amino acid content, require the use of pure water as a solvent or diluent. The high purity of pure water reduces interference from impurities, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of testing results.

Cleaning and Disinfection of Fermentation Equipment

Cleaning: Fermentation equipment must be cleaned before and after use to remove residual fermentation liquid, microorganisms, and other impurities. The cleaning properties of pure water can effectively remove dirt and impurities from the equipment surface, ensuring its cleanliness and providing optimal conditions for the next fermentation process.

Disinfection: In some cases, fermentation equipment also requires disinfection. Pure water can serve as a solvent for disinfectants, ensuring accurate disinfectant concentration and enhancing disinfection efficacy. Additionally, the sterile properties of pure water reduce the risk of contamination by foreign microorganisms during the disinfection process.

Separation and Purification of Fermentation Products

Solvent: In the separation and purification of fermentation products, pure water is often used as a solvent. For example, in separation and purification methods such as extraction, crystallization, and ion exchange, pure water provides a clean environment, preventing impurities from affecting the separation and purification process of the product, thereby improving the purity and yield of the product.

Washing: During the separation and purification of products, it is necessary to wash the products to remove impurities. The high purity of pure water ensures effective washing, reduces impurity residue, and improves product quality.

Laboratory pure water machines are used throughout the entire process of research and development, production, and quality inspection in the fermentation industry. Their core value lies in improving fermentation efficiency, product yield, and compliance (such as GMP standards) through a stable and reliable source of high-purity water. When selecting a pure water system, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate water quality standards, flow requirements, and subsequent maintenance costs. INNOVA can provide reliable water purification systems.
