Continuous fermentation test made easy

BPC® BioReactor Simulator

- fermentation test in continuous mode of operation

BPC® BioReactor Simulator (BRS) simulates anaerobic fermentation processes in a continuous mode of operation. Operated on site or remotely, the simulator produces high quality data to give deeper knowledge of how suitable a potential feedstock is for biogas production, defining the suitable organic loading rate or retention time for a given feedstock, designing suitable feeding schedules, and assessing handling or disposal conditions for digested residues.

Bioreactor simulator biogas measuring device

Essential information for designing and operating biogas plants

The experiment settings allow users to define the process parameter settings of all reactors such as organic loading rate (OLR), hydraulic retention time (HRT), the active reactor volume, feeding interval and substrate concentration.

The BPC BioReactor Simulator significantly reduces the time, labour and skill demands for carrying out biogas simulations, data analysis and plant operations. It provides information such as the capabilities and loading limits of a process, essential for the design and operating biogas plants.

Total reactor control

The feeding and discharging settings lets you control all aspects of how and when a reactor should be fed and discharged. All information is logged and included in a report for further data analysis and interpretation.

It’s easy to monitor variations of the gas production under pre-defined OLR, HRT, feeding and discharging interval in real-time. You can also define time intervals easily between data points. The instrument calculates and displays a specific gas production since the last time calculations were reset.

Monitor from anywhere

This easy-to-use cloud-based software application allows users to set-up an experiment, control feeding and discharging, monitor the progress, and download results with little to no effort. Monitor results from different simulation experiments from laboratories around the world on any computer or mobile device.

Secure data logging and storage

Run lengthy simulation experiments knowing that data loss and storage under normal conditions is not an issue. For when the local internet connection is down, BPC BioReactor Simulator provides on-board storage for data caching when the local internet connection is down..

Simulator for anaerobic digestion

Supports manual and automatic feeding

The BPC BioReactor Simulator supports both manual and automatic feeding, multiplexing, allowing for the simultaneous initiation of multiple experiments at different startup times.

What people say

The design of gas, liquid and solid in/outlets are suitable for our experimental needs. No blockage issue has ever been experienced. We are fully satisfied by Bioprocess Control’s pilot scale solution, it earns us some envious looks from colleagues.

There are many instruments and methods on the market, but none are standardised the way the BPC® BioReactor Simulator and the other products from Bioprocess Control are. They provide market unique standardised system and methods, which makes it easy to compare results.

…the automation of the test minimises human errors, makes data collection more frequent than manual methods, and reduces operator time allowing more time for performing alternate tasks.
