The BioFlo 510 is a compact sterilizable-in-place fermentation system ideal for pilot to small scale production processes. The modular design features a wide variety of standard options allowing this system to be flexible enough to meet most process requirements.

Gas flow
› Various combinations of one, two, three or four TMFCs:
0.06  –   3 SLPM
0.3  –   15 SLPM
0.6  –   32 SLPM
1  –   64 SLPM 
› Overlay (valve only) 

Exhaust line
› Exhaust condenser
