Pierre Guerin 3000L Fermenter

This listing is for the Pierre Guerin 3000L Fermenter.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use.

Overview

The Pierre Guerin 3000 L Fermentation System is a premium large-scale bioprocessing platform designed for high-capacity, GMP-compliant production. Built for microbial and cell culture applications, it combines precision engineering, automated control, and hygienic design to deliver consistent, scalable results.

This system features a dual-vessel configuration, including a seed (inoculation) vessel for culture preparation and a main 3000 L fermenter for full-scale production.

Key Features & Components

Main Fermentation Vessel – 3000 L

Jacketed, 316L stainless steel construction with polished internal finish, conical bottom, and integrated CIP/SIP capabilities.

Seed Vessel (Inoculum Tank)

Smaller capacity vessel enabling staged process start-up for optimal culture transfer.

Agitation System

Variable-speed agitator (mechanical or magnetic drive) with low-shear mixing capability for diverse culture types.

Temperature Control

Full jacket for heating and cooling with steam or glycol for precise temperature management throughout the batch.

Instrumentation Suite

pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pressure, and foam sensors for real-time monitoring and closed-loop control.

Process Piping & Valves

Sanitary pipework and automated valve manifolds for controlled delivery of gases, nutrients, antifoam, and pH control agents.

Pumps & Dosing Systems

Multiple peristaltic or diaphragm pumps for accurate, programmable feeding and reagent dosing.

Control System

PLC-based control platform with touchscreen HMI for batch automation, recipe management, data logging, and potential SCADA integration.

CIP/SIP Systems

Integrated Clean-in-Place and Steam-in-Place functionality for rapid sterilization and minimal downtime between batches.

Applications

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing (vaccines, recombinant proteins, enzymes)

Industrial biotechnology (biofuels, organic acids, specialty chemicals)

Pilot-to-commercial scale fermentation processes

Advantages

Scalable & Flexible – Dual-vessel design supports smooth inoculation scale-up.

GMP-Ready – Sanitary construction and automation aligned with regulatory standards.

High Throughput – Optimized for continuous, high-volume production.

Data Integrity – Comprehensive monitoring and logging capabilities.
