Approval for the project "Automation and optimization of fermentation process"
In the morning of June 3, 2020, the Can Tho City Department of Science and Technology set up a science and technology council to approve the project "Automation and optimization of fermentation energy". The study is implemented by Mr. Tran Quoc Huy. - 3 Shrimp Technology Joint Stock Company.


The project is implemented to increase fermentation efficiency (reducing heat raising time from 6 hours to 2 hours); reduce energy costs by more than 20-30%; reducing labor by 40-50% in the fermentation stage; Good control of product quality.

The technology consists of a heating fermenting pot designed with 304L or 316L stainless steel composed of 3 shells, in which between the two inner shells contains the heat transfer medium (heat transfer oil, water, etc), the outer shell contains insulating material to prevent heat loss, and is equipped with a motor and paddle for better heat transfer reversing; The temperature will be controlled via (sensor) to notify the thermal module to control the temperature of the resistor according to the switching signal. And boilers are commonly used in industries, such as chemical plants, sugar, alcohol, beer, beverage, food processing, and etc, steam is used for cooking, heating, drying, and bar Pasteurization, concentration, and etc. The steam used in heat exchange is saturated steam. This type of boiler is called an industrial boiler, with low pressure, small output.

Expected results of the project:

- Reduce energy costs from more than 50%, exceeding expectations by more than 20%; reducing labor from 40-50% in the fermentation stage. Previously, manual operation took 04 staffs to operate the fermentation tank, now it takes only 02 staffs to operate the whole fermentation tank; Connect the automatic fermentation system, which helps control the quality of fermented products. Data connection of technical systems to mobile phones, for remote control, office, no need to go down production area; Increasing the fermentation capacity of the factory by 10-20% due to shortening the time of raising the heat. Time to raise the temperature of the fermentation solution from the normal temperature to the optimum temperature for fermentation from 60-65oC from 6 hours to 2 hours. Total fermentation time of a batch from 15 days, now shortened to 12 days.

The project will contribute to handling a large amount of shrimp by-products from seafood processing plants and solving the environmental pollution caused by shrimp by-products. Besides, it contributes to creating jobs for workers, and contributes to economic development of the Mekong Delta.
