Types of Fermentation Tanks

Fermentation tanks come in a variety of forms, each suited to different purposes. Here are some of the most common

Cylindroconical tanks

Widely used in breweries, these tanks feature a cone-shaped bottom to collect yeast and sediment efficiently.

Open fermenters

Ideal for traditional beer styles, allowing natural yeast exposure but requiring more sanitation precautions.

Closed tanks

Common in winemaking, these provide an airtight environment to prevent oxidation.

Horizontal tanks

Used for lagering (aging beer), as they provide a larger surface area for yeast contact.

 

Features of Fermentation Tanks

 

Material

Most fermentation tanks are made of stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance and is easy to clean. This ensures the purity and quality of the final product.

Sealed environment

To prevent contamination, the fermentation tank is sealed. This sealed environment ensures the consistent quality of the final product.

Temperature control

Fermentation is a temperature-sensitive process. Modern fermenters are equipped with cooling jackets or internal coils to regulate temperature.

Capacity

Tank sizes range from small homemade tanks of a few gallons to large commercial tanks holding thousands of gallons.

 

Applications

Fermentation tanks, also known as bioreactors, have widespread applications across various industries where fermentation processes are essential. Here’s a list of some key applications:

Food industry:
●Brewing: In the beer industry, fermentation tanks are used to convert sugars extracted from malted grains into alcohol and carbon dioxide by yeast.
●Wine production: Wine fermentation tanks hold crushed grapes while yeast converts sugar into alcohol.
●Sourdough & bread making: For fermenting dough to create sourdough bread and other fermented baked goods.
●Cheese production: Fermentation is involved in curdling milk and developing unique flavors in cheese varieties.

 

Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology:
●Antibiotics production: Many antibiotics like penicillin are produced through fermentation using microorganisms.
●Vaccine production: Some vaccines require the growth and manipulation of viruses or bacteria in fermentation tanks.
●Biopharmaceuticals: The production of recombinant proteins such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and therapeutic enzymes involves cell culture fermentation.

 

Biofuels industry:
●Ethanol production: Large-scale ethanol for fuel is made by fermenting sugars from crops like corn or sugarcane.
●Biodiesel: Microbial oil can be produced through fermentation which can then be converted to biodiesel.

 

Chemicals industry:
●Enzyme production: Enzymes for industrial uses (e.g., detergents) are often produced via fermentation.

 

Agriculture and animal feed:
●Single cell protein (scp): Certain types of animal feed include fermented products that are high in protein content.

 

Environmental applications:
●Anaerobic digestion: Fermentation tanks are used to break down organic waste materials to produce biogas, which can be used as an energy source.
●Cosmetics: Fermentation is increasingly used to produce active ingredients for skincare and cosmetic products, harnessing the power of beneficial bacteria and yeasts.

FAQ

 

Q: What materials are used in fermentation tanks?

A: Most large fermentation tanks are made from stainless steel, which is non-reactive and durable.

Q: What size fermentation tank do I need?

A: This depends on your production capacity. Small craft breweries might need 500-liter tanks, while large breweries could require tanks that hold 10,000 liters or more.

Q: How much does a large fermentation tank cost?

A: Prices vary widely depending on the size and customization. Basic models might start at $20,000, but specialized tanks can cost over $150,000.

Q: Can fermentation tanks be customized?

A: Yes, you can customize tanks with features like cooling jackets, insulation, pressure control, and CIP systems.

Q: How do you maintain large fermentation tanks?

A: Regular cleaning is essential, and most tanks come with CIP systems. Valves, seals, and cooling systems also need periodic checks.

Q: What are the most common tank fittings needed?

A: Critical fittings include sample valves, thermowells, sight glasses, racking arms, bottom drain butterfly valves, sanitary tri-clamp fittings, manways, air vents, clean-out ports, and harvest lines for yeast collection. Consider mobile bases with casters for smaller tanks as well.

Q: Should fermentation tanks be elevated or remain floor-mounted?

A: For smaller tanks up to 30 barrels, securing directly to the floor allows easy bottom drain access and stable foundations for longevity. Beyond that size, fabricating steel platforms to add elevation improves ergonomics for sampling and top access during cleaning. Catwalks enable inspecting the very largest tanks. Some tanks integrate customizable stairways/ladders directly into tank frames as well. Portable gantries and lifts further improve access.
