It's self-evident if you understand the basic terminology.

A "pilot plant" is sort of like a smaller-scale mockup of a factory. It's used to prove that a particular design will work and produce the desired substance, without going to the expense of building a full-scale production facility.

A "fermenter" is, basically, a big tank in which bacteria or fungi "ferment" some feedstock and produce the desired substance. What this substance is varies.

A pilot plant fermenter, then, would be a small ("small" is relative here, it could be several hundred gallons) tank in which fermentation of some kind takes place.

What are tower fermenters?

Tower fermenters are simple in design and easy to construct. They consist of a long cylindrical vessel with an inlet at the bottom, an exhaust at the top, and a jacket to control temperature. They do not require agitation hence there are no shafts, impellers or blades.Tower fermenters are used for continuous fermentation of beer, yeast and SCP.

Are the lions and leopads foregut or hind fermenters?

Lions and leopards are neither foregut nor hindgut fermenters; they are obligate carnivores with a simple stomach and do not rely on fermentation to digest their food. Unlike herbivores that have specialized stomachs for fermentation, these big cats primarily digest their prey through enzymatic breakdown in the stomach. Their digestive systems are adapted for efficiently processing protein and fat rather than fibrous plant material.
