Vison Chemicals manufactures food-grade SS316L jacketed citric acid fermentation tanks for submerged aerobic fermentation of citric acid, sodium citrate and food acidulant production. Each citric acid fermentation tank is engineered for the Aspergillus niger fermentation process, with a top-entry Rushton turbine agitator and sintered air sparger that maintain the high dissolved oxygen and uniform mixing the fungus culture needs for maximum acid yield. The jacketed vessel holds the exact fermentation temperature, while sanitary SS316L wetted surfaces withstand the acidic broth and support clean batch operation from pilot trials to full commercial citric acid plants.
