Services

Existing or new vessels can be equipped with the instrumentation and actuators required by the process. We evaluate sensor placement, liquid flow, mixing, heating or cooling and control sequences so that the individual components operate as one coordinated system.

We develop automation solutions for bioprocess and other technological equipment. The work can include signal and I/O architecture, sensor and actuator integration, PLC programming, HMI operator interfaces and process-control algorithms.

Depending on the task, the system can implement temperature, pH and DO regulation, dosing, pump and mixer control, automatic sequences, interlocks, alarms and process-data logging.

In cooperation with the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, we offer microbial process development and scale-up from flask scale (250 mL) to pilot and production-oriented scales (100 L–1000 L).

The work can include evaluation of media and operating regimes, adaptation of aeration and mixing parameters, process-data analysis, development of control strategies and transfer of results to a larger working volume.

In cooperation with the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, we offer custom cultivation runs in 150 L, 600 L and 1000 L bioreactors. Before the run, the main cultivation conditions, measured parameters, sampling plan and required process control are agreed.

The service is suitable for testing a technology at larger scale, obtaining process data and preparing the next scale-up stage.

We provide practical training in microbial cultivation process optimization, modelling, control and scale-up. The content can be adapted to the participants' experience and the needs of a specific process or equipment setup.

Training can cover interpretation of process parameters, use of sensor data, control principles and evaluation of the key technological parameters that need attention during scale-up.
