and sterilization Stirred tank fermenter design Other bioreactors 12/23/2018 Bioreaction engineering 184 Cleaning and Sterilization http://buihongquan.com Biological processes must maintain sterile (aseptic) operation: Prevent infection of desired organism with invasive species Prevent invasion of natural strains that interbreed with desired organism and cause loss of desired strain properties Prevent contamination of product with byproducts formed by invasive species Prevent competition for substrate between desired organism and invasive species Ensure quality and safety of food and pharmaceutical grade products Design must allow for cleaning and sterilization between batches or runs Production plants are usually designed for cleaning in place (CIP) and sterilization in place (SIP) Continuous or fed-batch plants must have sterile feeds Applies to all feeds that could support life forms, particularly growth media Including air: use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters 12/23/2018 Bioreaction engineering 185 http://buihongquan.com Design for Cleaning and Sterilization Reactors and tanks are fitted with special spray nozzles for cleaning See www.Bete.com for examples Minimize dead-legs, branches, crevices and other hardto-clean areas Minimize process fluid exposure to shaft seals on pumps, valves, instruments, etc to prevent contaminant ingress Operate under pressure to prevent air leakage in (unless biohazard is high) 12/23/2018 Bioreaction engineering 186 http://buihongquan.com Cleaning Policy Typically multiple steps to cleaning cycle: Wash with high-pressure water jets Drain Wash with alkaline cleaning solution (typically 1M NaOH) Drain Rinse with tap water Drain Wash with acidic cleaning solution (typically 1M phosphoric or nitric acid) Drain Rinse with tap water Drain Rinse with deionized water Drain Each wash step will be timed to ensure vessel is filled well above normal fill line 12/23/2018 Bioreaction engineering 187 http://buihongquan.com Sterilization Policy Sterilization is also a reaction process: cell death is typically a 0th or 1st order process, but since we require a high likelihood that all cells are killed, it is usually treated probabilistically Typical treatments: 15 at 120ºC or at 135ºC SIP is usually carried out by feeding LP steam and holding for prescribed time During cool-down only sterile air should be admitted Feed sterilization can be challenging for thermally sensitive feeds such as vitamins – need to provide some additional feed to allow for degradation 12/23/2018 Bioreaction

http://buihongquan.com Design of Stirred Tank Fermenters Decide operation mode: batch or continuous Estimate productivity (probably experimentally) Even in continuous mode, several reactors may be needed to allow for periodic cleaning and re-innoculation Establish cell concentration, substrate feed rate, product formation rate per unit volume per unit time Hence determine number of standard reactors to achieve desired production rate: assume vessel is 2/3 full Determine run length: batch time or average length of continuous run Determine mass transfer rate and confirm adequate aeration (see Ch15 for correlations) Determine heat transfer rate and confirm adequate cooling (see Ch19 for correlations) Determine times for draining, CIP, SIP, cool down, refilling Recalculate productivity allowing for non-operational time (CIP, SIP, etc.): revisit step if necessary 12/23/2018 Bioreaction engineering 194 http://buihongquan.com Bioreactor Design Enzyme catalysis Cell growth and
