Fermentation industry

In biotechnology, fermentation is used for the microbial conversion of organic substances into desired end products. A distinction is made between aerobic and anaerobic fermentation, while the best possible conditions must prevail for the microorganism to have an effective fermentation outcome. Depending on the fermentation process, LEVACO strives to destroy, prevent or manage foaming with the help of our DEFOSPUM^® antifoaming agents.

The LEVACO team is known for its close cooperation with our customers. Each fermentation process is carefully discussed and observed before a tailor-made solution is provided. Joint product developments and large-scale trials in production facilities pose a particular challenge in fermentation processes, as production must not come to a standstill.

Thanks to LEVACO’s many years of experience, production stops can be avoided and fermentation efficiency can be increased. We look forward to helping you mitigate foaming in fermentation, whether you produce amino acids, baker's yeast, enzymes, ethanol, citric acid or pharma products.
