Lessons
BSF facility technology
Learn how the production room, climate equipment and control system work together around the biological process. The sequence starts with why climatisation matters, then moves through design, the reference module, assembly and configuration.

Using the material
A reference design is not an engineering drawing
Climate equipment and control settings depend on the room, tray load, local weather, utilities and operating method. A general course cannot size a facility or confirm compliance.
Any build needs local engineering, electrical and safety checks. The separate Tech page explains the Manna MIND product rather than repeating it here.
