Minimum working pressure of stainless fermenter to carbonate in fermenter

Which is the minimum working pressure to be capable to carbonate my beer inside the fermenter when the fermentation is over?

I'm about to buy a 0,1MPa (working preassure) fermenter.

0.1 MPa is 14.8 psi, which is within the 12-18 PSI range you would need to reasonable carbonate most beers at 40-50 degF with roughly 2.0-3.0 volumes of CO2. At 14 psi and 40 degF you would be good for getting upto 2.6 volumes of CO2.

But, if you can chill down to 32 degF 0 degC then you may only need 7 or 8 PSI to get good carbonation.

See this table for a good guide to PSI/volCO2/temp/beerstyle:
