AFC 900 Fermentor and Bioreactor Control

ILS offers the AFC 900 series of fermentation and bioreactor control systems for new reactors
or retrofit replacement of existing reactors.  From bench-top to pilot-scale the AFC 900 family
provides the functionality and value for a range applications.  Refurbish and renew existing
fermentors and bioreactors.  Extend the useful life of vessels at a lower cost than buying new.
 
System Integration Services

ILS offers services and solutions for instrumentation and control.  This includes
instrumentation, networking, data collection, control and reporting.  ILS can assist with OEM
and customer applications.  ILS specializes in the following applications:
  • Batch control, batch recipe &
    batch reporting
  • SQL Server and Oracle
    databases for real-time
    systems
Do you have a need on your factory floor or laboratory to integrate more than one serial
(RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) device and using Ethernet to tie them back to your control
system? ILS has practical experience in designing, delivering, installing and testing ILS
turn-key serial communication cabinets using Moxa®, Lantronix®  Vlinx®/Zlinx® and other
brands of Ethernet serial devices servers using industrial Ethernet switches and routers from
Weidmüller.

AFC 100 for DO, pH and Temperature Control

The AFC 100 is an value-based solution for temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO)
measurement.  The AFC can also control external pumps for pH control and an external
solid-state relay (SSR) for temperature control.  Integration options include a standard
Modbus interface or scaled 4-20 mA outputs.  Integrate as a blind system without a local HMI
or include a touchscreen that can communicate to multiple AFC 100 simultaneously.

The AFC 100 works with PT100 RTDs for temperature,  InGold® type for dissolved oxygen
and electrochemical for pH.  Mettler-Toledo and/or Broadley James pH/DO probes are
compatible.  The AFC signal conditioner accepts up to 3 separate 4-20 mA analog signals and
scales to 3 separate 4-20 mA analog outputs.  This can include temperature, pH, DO or other
measurements or analog signal.  

Applications include fermentation and bio-reaction for pharmaceutical, energy, and waste
water treatment.  Simply provide a low-cost vessel and combine with the AFC 100 as a
value-based approach for fermentation.  
ILS provides COMECO probes, transmitters, signal conditioners and other
devices.    We can provide quotes and application expertise.  ILS has
experience applying COMECO products to process applications including
fermentors, bioreactors, etc.
