Bactosafe DF

High-Performance Biocide for Controlling Bacterial Contamination in Sugar & Molasses-Based Fermentation

Bacterial contamination in sugar and molasses fermentation can result in quality deterioration, sugar loss, and reduced ethanol yield. These challenges can negatively affect overall process efficiency.

Controlling undesirable bacterial growth across different feedstocks is therefore important for maintaining feedstock quality, yeast performance, and stable fermentation.

Bactosafe DF is a synergistic antimicrobial formulation developed to control bacterial contamination across juice, syrup, and molasses-based processes. Its combination of antimicrobial compounds helps prevent bacterial proliferation, reduce by-product formation, and maintain yeast performance during fermentation.

  • Effective at low dosage levels
  • Controls bacterial contamination across multiple feedstocks
  • Prevents deterioration of cane juice and syrup quality
  • Improves fermentation efficiency and ethanol yield
  • Reduces volatile acid formation
  • Reduces by product stress
  • Helps reduce frequency of stuck fermentation

Bactosafe DF is applicable in sugar and molasses distillery processes, including :

  • Pre-fermenter
  • Fermenter
  • Milling Station
  • Mix Juice
  • Filter Juice
  • Syrup Tank

FAQ's

How do I know if my fermentation process needs BACTOSAFE DF?

If your plant experiences bacterial contamination, declining ethanol recovery, deteriorating syrup quality, increased volatile acid formation, or recurring stuck fermentations, BACTOSAFE DF helps control microbial growth, reduce sugar losses, and support stable fermentation.

Can BACTOSAFE DF improve the return on my fermentation operation?

By reducing bacterial contamination, sugar losses, volatile acid formation, and fermentation disruptions, BACTOSAFE DF helps improve fermentation efficiency and ethanol recovery, supporting better utilization of existing plant resources.

Why can syrup deterioration become expensive for a distillery?

Microbial contamination converts valuable fermentable sugars into organic acids, reducing ethanol recovery and increasing production losses. BACTOSAFE DF helps control microbial growth, preserve fermentable sugars, and minimize organic acid formation.

How much additional value can Bactosafe DF generate relative to its investment?
A 1x investment in Bactosafe DF generates 16.4x in value, based on a 100 KLPD plant, 5 ppm dosage, and a 0.02% increase in recovery.
