Citric acid fermentation system and fermentation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fermentation, and particularly relates to a citric acid fermentation system and a fermentation method thereof.
Background
Industrial fermentation is an industrial process for converting fermentation raw materials into microbial products required by human beings through the vital activities of microorganisms. In our country, the fermentation industry has been developed greatly in recent years as an important branch in biotechnology, and new fermentation industries (e.g., amino acids, enzyme preparations, organic acids, single-cell proteins, starch sugars, etc.) have been increasing at an average rate of 21% per year. To date, China has formed a fermentation industrial system with various varieties, complete categories and a considerable scale, and the product application covers various industries such as medicine, sanitation, light industry, agriculture, energy, environmental protection and the like.
In aerobic fermentation, the dissolved oxygen content is a limiting factor of thallus growth and fermentation, and in the traditional aerobic fermentation process, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the fermentation liquor is generally only 7-8 ppm, so that the fermentation efficiency is low. Therefore, it is an important direction for the development of modern fermentation industry to seek a fermentation apparatus with higher gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration and improve the fermentation yield.
In addition, the existing fermentation process requires a lot of manpower, including access to the inside of the tank through a manhole for washing, and on-site operation of valves of various pipes. Therefore, the labor cost is improved, and the production safety is reduced.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

In fact, the micro-interface generator is a specific form of the micro-interface generator, whether it is a hydraulic micro-interface generator or a gas-liquid linkage micro-interface generator, however, the micro-interface generator adopted in the present invention is not limited to the above forms, and the specific structure of the bubble breaker described in the prior patent is only one of the forms that the micro-interface generator of the present invention can adopt.
