CULTURE DEVICE AND DEFOAMING AND CONTROLLING METHOD IN FERMENTATION PRODUCTION BY AEROBIC CULTURE

摘要

USING A CULTURE TANK FOR FERMENTATION PRODUCTION, AEROBIC CULTURE IS EFFECTED, WHERE THE AMOUNT OF THE CULTURE LIQUID IS INCREASED MORE THAN THAT IN CONVENTIONAL AEROBIC CULTURE OR IS ELEVATED UP TO 70% TO THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF THE CULTURE TANK USED, WITHOUT LOWERING THE PRODUCIBILITY OF THE INTENDED PRODUCT. A CULTURE DEVICE FOR FERMENTATION PRODUCTION BY AEROBIC CULTURE, IN WHICH A VAPOR-LIQUID SEPARATING MEANS IS DISPOSED AT THE EXHAUST OUTLET OF THE CULTURE TANK OF THE DEVICE, A MIST SEPARATING MEANS IS DISPOSED AT THE VAPOR OUTLET OF THE VAPOR-LIQUID SEPARATING MEANS, AND A SENSOR OF DETECTING FOAMS IS PROVIDED IN AT LEAST ONE POSITION OF THE INLET LINE, THE RECIRCULATION LINE AND THE BODY OF THE MIST SEPARATING MEANS. IN THE CULTURE DEVICE, A DEFOAMING MEANS OF BEATING THE FOAMS BY ROTATING A ROTARY BODY AT A HIGH SPEED BY MEANS OF A SEPARATE ELECTRIC MOTOR OR OF DEFOAMING THEM BY CENTRIFUGAL ATOMIZATION OF THEM IS PROVIDED BETWEEN THE VAPOR-LIQUID SEPARATING MEANS AND THE MIST SEPARATING MEANS. A METHOD OF DEFOAMING AND CONTROLLING FOAMS BY THE USE OF THE DEVICE.(FIG. 2)
