Plant design, fermentation facility

Dnring the period since World War II, collaborations between biochemists, applied microbiologists, and chemical engineers have evolved in several complementary directions, as their joint efforts have led to the successful development of innovative processes based on biochemical transformations that take place in creatively designed fermenters and bioreactors. This equipment has been tailormade to satisfy not only the safety, sanitation, and microbiological constraints imposed by the FDA and its counterparts in other nations, but also the labile and shear-sensitive nature of animal and plant cells. The equipment used in traditional facilities for manufacturing biopharmaceutical products consists of stainless steel bioreactors/fermenters, tanks, piping, valves, and so on, that are quasi permanent installations.
