Benefits
In comparison with biotechnologies that only use free cells or enzymes, lentikats biotechnology has the following advantages:
- Radical reduction of investment costs
- Significant reduction of operational costs
- Higher productivity and efficiency compared with traditional technology
- Acceleration of the production process
- Radical reduction of production of wastes
Are you asking how this is possible?
- Lentikats biotechnology enables repeated and long term use. The produced biomass can be used for a long time and repeatedly under conditions of controlled reduction of biological activity; the biomass is thus eliminated from use after the activity decreases to the lowest admissible value. This saves costs for the preparation of fermentors for the new batch and there are no investment or operational costs necessary for biomass separation.
- Lentikats biotechnology accelerates the production processes manifold and thus decreases the size and demand factor of the production equipment by an order of magnitude. By achieving a high biomass concentration of a production microorganism or enzyme activiti, the volume rate of the process accelerates to such an extent that it is possible to switch from batch operation mode o semicontinual or fully continual operation mode. Moreover, the volume of fermentors decreases by an order of magnitude and further technological simplifications are possible.
- Lentikats biotechnology achieves maximum productivity. By connecting the necessary number of reactors into a series on the basis of understanding the effect of the culture's physiological state on the course of the process and by using continuous regulation of the process, maximum productivity of the bioreactor cascade can be achieved, which leads to a drastic (more than an order of magnitude) reduction of nominal costs, both investment and operational, primarily for the anaerobic processes of alcoholic and lactic fermentations.
- Lentikats biotechnology enables automation of the control process.
Thanks to continualization, the fermentation processes can be fully and efficiently automatized with the use of on-line analyzers and conditions can therefore be created for optimum control of the process. - Lentikats biotechnology reduces enzymes consumption and significantly reduces production wastes - free biomass and excess sludge. The created biomass can be used for a long time and repeatedly; it is continuously present in the maximum possible concentration and participates in the fermentation process by more than 95%. With the repeated use of enzymes, the operational costs related to their consumption are saved considerably.
- Lentikats biotechnology increases the yield of a given fermentation process. Thanks to the fact that the created biomass is steadily present in the fermentation process, the organic substrate is not consumed in the production of the new biomass and the yield of a given fermentation process increases.
- Lentikats biotechnology enables carrying out multistep bioconversions. Thanks to the easy separation of biocatalysts, multistep bioconversions can easily be implemented without the necessary separation of intermediates.
- Lentikats biotechnology eliminates diffusion limitations. The immobilization into suitably shaped forms of biocatalysts removes even such serious limitations as oxygen intake into immobilizers and carbon dioxide exhaust from immobilizates during aerobic fermentations.
