Used Direct Steam Injection Sterilization System, 65 GPM. Vacuum Thermal Instant Sterilization (VTIS) is designed to sterilize fermentation media at temperatures up to 290F for 20 second hold time. Product is pre-heated to 175F before going into the Hydrothermal Steam Injector. The Steam injector puts steam in direct contact with the product and then it goes into the flash chamber, which removes the extra water added from the condensed steam. Then the sterilized product is cooled to the final temperature in the Regeneration Heat Exchanger section. Upon exiting the regen section, the product goes from the VTIS Skid to the fermenter.

Description
This used Direct Steam Injection Sterilization System (VTIS) is engineered for instant sterilization of fermentation media at temperatures up to 290°F with a 20-second hold time. The system first pre-heats the product to 175°F before it enters the hydrothermal steam injector, where direct contact steam rapidly raises the temperature for efficient sterilization.
The process continues through the flash chamber, where excess water from condensed steam is removed. After sterilization, the product passes through a regeneration heat exchanger, which cools the product to the desired final temperature before it’s transferred from the VTIS skid to the fermenter.
This system is ideal for large-scale bioprocessing, food ingredient sterilization, and pharmaceutical media preparation where precise, high-speed sterilization and controlled thermal treatment are essential.
