what is the difference between fermentor and bioreactor?

Answer Posted / satheesh

Operational principal carried out in fermentor and bioreactor are almost simliar,and can be defined as the biochemical reaction carried out in interest of suitable products by using certain bio-meto driving agent :say enzyme or microrganism..and they can be either operated in aerobic or anerobic..
DIFFERENCE:
1.IN fermentor the reaction can be carried by both enzyme,catalyst or micro organism and animal cell etc.. but in biorector only living cells or their product can attribute to yield of metabolites.
(Say-chem/biochemical in fermentor whereas only biochemical in bioreactor).
2.Basic Fermentor design will be somewhat constant except certain imbelled parameters such as varying measurements or size,spare parts design(impeller)heat and mass transfer based design,,and their mode of operation will be three namely batch,fed batch and continuous.....
whereas the basic bioreactor designs has many option such as packed bed,fluidized bed bioreactor,IVFR,Air lift bioreactor.one should select the above said design based on reaction going to carried out.
