APPLICATIONS
Fermentation is a biochemical process crucial in producing products like alcohol, bread, and dairy. Oxygen is important at the start of aerobic fermentation, aiding the growth and multiplication of yeast and bacteria. In anaerobic processes, such as brewing and winemaking, oxygen must be limited to avoid spoilage. Nitrogen is used to create an inert atmosphere during the packaging of beverages like beer and wine, displacing oxygen to prevent oxidation and preserve flavor and color. It can also serve as a nutrient, supporting yeast health and activity for consistent fermentation. Additionally, argon is employed to further safeguard against oxidation during storage and bottling by forming a dense layer over the liquid, enhancing product stability and extending shelf life. Together, oxygen, nitrogen, and argon carefully manage the fermentation environment, ensuring product quality and safety.

In metal processing, fermentation refers to biochemical processes involving microorganisms to treat metal ores or waste, often for bioleaching or bioremediation purposes.
Oxygen enrichment involves increasing the oxygen concentration in processes to enhance reactions, improve efficiency, and achieve better results in metal extraction, refining, and other metallurgical operations.
Gases are used to create optimal conditions for microbial activity in fermentation and to enhance chemical reactions in oxygen enrichment processes. They help increase process efficiency, yield, and quality of the final product.
Common gases used include oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and nitrogen (N₂). These gases are used to control the environment and improve the efficiency of fermentation and oxygen enrichment processes.
Oxygen is used to increase the concentration of oxygen in the process, enhancing the activity of microorganisms in fermentation and improving the efficiency of oxidation reactions in metal processing.
Carbon dioxide is often a byproduct of fermentation processes. It can also be used to create specific environmental conditions needed for certain microbial activities in bioleaching and bioremediation.
Yes, nitrogen is used to create inert atmospheres, preventing unwanted reactions and controlling the environment during fermentation and oxygen enrichment processes.
Using gases improves process efficiency, enhances reaction rates, increases yield, and provides better control over process conditions, leading to higher quality and more consistent results.
