How does the Sustainable Fermenter compare?
| Old Generation | New Sustainable Generation | |
|---|---|---|
| Aeration | Self-aspirating aeration system | Pressurized air injection paired with highly efficient mixer |
| Energy consumption | High | Energy savings of > 53-70%, significantly lower operational costs |
| Tank architecture | Limited in height therefore larger diameter due to liquid column height | Higher and more slim tank design with smaller footprint and cheaper carrying |
| Investment costs | Higher due to high transport costs for tanks | Considerably less transport costs and more valuable process |
