A fermentor or fermentation chamber is a type of bioreactor for containing and controlling fermenter microorganisms. Fermentation is an important economical route to important raw materials (ethanol, lactic acid) and fermented foods. A fermenter must control temperature and keep the chamber anaerobic and free of oxygen to optimize conditions for desired microbial fermentation. Fermentation is a basic and highly developed art and also pursued by hobbyists. Necessary public information is available to create an economical and high performance OSE version to complete certain product ecologies.

A fermentor or fermentation chamber is a type of bioreactor for containing and controlling fermenter microorganisms. Fermentation is an important economical route to important raw materials (ethanol, lactic acid) and fermented foods. A fermenter must control temperature and keep the chamber anaerobic and free of oxygen to optimize conditions for desired microbial fermentation. Fermentation is a basic and highly developed art and also pursued by hobbyists. Necessary public information is available to create an economical and high performance OSE version to complete certain product ecologies.
