Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial for Industrial Fermentation

Microbial contamination, particularly from lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, can create significant challenges during industrial ethanol fermentation. Bacterial growth can lead to organic acid production, reduced yeast viability, slower fermentation, and losses in ethanol yield.

Effective bacterial control is therefore important for maintaining stable fermentation, reducing the risk of stuck fermentation, and protecting ethanol productivity.

Bactoferm M is a highly concentrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial formulation developed using microbial isolates collected from diverse fermentation environments. It suppresses Lactobacillus, Bacillus, and other acid-producing bacteria, helping protect yeast health, minimize lactic acid formation, and stabilize fermentation performance.

FAQ's

How does BACTOFERM M improve fermentation performance and ethanol recovery?

BACTOFERM M controls acid-forming bacteria that compete with yeast for fermentable sugars. By reducing microbial stress and supporting healthier yeast activity, it helps improve fermentation stability and ethanol recovery.

Why isn't my fermentation system delivering its expected performance?

Bacterial contamination can reduce yeast activity, destabilize fermentation, and lower ethanol recovery. BACTOFERM M helps control contamination, supporting healthier yeast and more consistent fermentation performance.

Why does poor microbial control lead to frequent CIP shutdowns?

Uncontrolled bacterial growth accelerates contamination buildup, increasing cleaning frequency. BACTOFERM M helps manage microbial populations, extending operating periods between CIP cycles and supporting improved plant availability.

How does the investment in Bactoferm M translate into additional value?

Every 1x invested in Bactoferm M delivers 9.3x in value, based on a 100 KLPD plant, 0.5 ppm dosage, and a 1.19% increase in fermentation efficiency.
