A Review Scale Up Fermentation Procedure

Authors(4) :-Sikander Ali, Muhammad Faiq Ali, Maryam Sameer, Zahra Rafique

Due to the larger size and scale of industrial fermentation setups it is vital to succeed beforehand studies of possible complications, due to increase in scale, and to sort out ways to tackle them. Scale up studies are executed at the laboratory or pilot plant scale to generate data that can be used to anticipate and construct the large scale industrial fermenters with ample confidence that it would function according to all its expected behaviors. Hence, scale up studies not only help understanding the technical components of a large-scale fermentation setup but also reduce the economic risk involved in the case of direct investment on large scale production.
