BPC - Model Bioreactor Series -CSTR/UASB/EGSB/IC bioreactors for biogas labs

SHARE
Our modular, robust CSTR and high-rate anaerobic bioreactors (UASB, IC, EGSB) are built using high-quality materials in order to meet the demands of biogas labs. Intended for anaerobic fermentation tests, both for continuous and batch mode operations, the flexible design and user-friendly functionality makes them the ideal experiment platform for simulating full-scale fermentation processes at a laboratory scale.
