Definitions
- Fermentation process and bioreactor for carrying out anaerobic, aerobic and micro-aerophilic fermentations including an airlift shaft overflow
- DE 41 12 377 describes a compact reactor consisting of a biologically active reaction chamber with a device for gassing the waste water.
- the gassing takes place by means of a circulating gassing system, which comprises an upflow tube, a pump, a deflection hood and a downflow tube.
- DE 41 12 378 also describes a compact reactor consisting of a biologically active reaction chamber with a device for gassing the waste water.
- the reactors described in the two publications mentioned above are adapted to processes for aerobic biological wastewater treatment.
- devices for wastewater treatment are open systems that allow air to be exchanged with the environment.
- a precise control of the supply of gaseous substrates, as is required in fermentation processes, and internal circulation to the goal of optimal gas utilization does not take place.
- this embodiment is not suitable for enabling optimal aeration in terms of energy under changing operating conditions, as is the case with aerobic batch fermentations or microaerophilic gassing.
- the object of the invention is now to provide an efficient fermentation process and an efficient bioreactor for carrying out such a process.
- the problems of the methods currently known from the prior art are to be overcome.
- a fermentation method and a bioreactor for carrying out such a method are to be provided, which are efficient with regard to the energy requirement and variable with regard to the process control.
- the invention therefore relates to a fermentation process which is carried out using a bioreactor, the bioreactor having: a reaction space with a gas space and a liquid space; a fresh gas inlet and a gas outlet, wherein the gas inlet is designed to introduce gases to the gassing device and the gas outlet is designed to conduct gaseous products out of the gas space; in a vertical circulation gassing system comprising an upflow pipe, a pump, a gassing device and a downflow pipe, which is arranged around the upflow pipe and the gassing device, wherein the vertical circulation gassing system is designed to introduce gas from the gas space into the liquid space; the method comprising the steps of:
- Fresh gas is sucked in automatically via the fresh gas inlet or fresh gas inlet, preferably by the gassing device, known as the airlift shaft overflow, and the exhaust gas including gaseous products is discharged from the bioreactor via a gas outlet.
- the gassing device known as the airlift shaft overflow
- the airlift shaft overflow can always be operated in the optimum efficiency range of the circulating pump in all operating states by changing the required delivery height and changing the parameters of the circulating pump by changing the speed.
- the fermentation process according to the invention and the bioreactor are efficient with regard to the energy requirement and variable with regard to the process control.
- An essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that the gas input and the gas conversion in the course of the fermentation process can be energetically optimally adapted to the respectively changed process conditions. In particular, no gas compression is required for use in the bioreactor.
- the gassing device of the present invention works preferably according to the immersion jet gassing principle and is more preferably based on the known Submerged jet hydro-aeration (TSH aeration) optimized and further developed for use in biotechnology.
- TSH aeration Submerged jet hydro-aeration
- an inner, downward gassed circulation flow is preferably generated, in which the gassed circulation flow is guided downwards to the outlet of the outflow pipe and then rises and degasses in the bioreactor with turbulence dissolution and back-mixing due to its lower density.
- the reactor according to the invention is preferably an airlift loop reactor with a downward gassed circulation flow, suitable for fermentation processes with changing specific gas requirements and for the use of gaseous substrates (3rd generation biotechnology) in the fermentation process.
- the gassing device of the circulating gassing system is preferably designed as a height-adjustable deflection hood in order to ensure an energetically optimal circulation and gassing with variable filling levels in the bioreactor.
- the deflection hood has gas inlet channels at the upper end.
- a rapidly sedimenting yeast is used.
- the fermentation time is shortened thanks to optimal process conditions and the emptying time is shortened thanks to the use of rapidly sedimenting yeast.
- the fermentation process is controlled by measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration, substrate concentration and ethanol concentration in the bioreactor 11 and the measured CO2 concentration in the exhaust air.
- the fermentation process can be remotely controlled using modern communication systems such as smartphones.
- Step 3 tact sedimentation of the biomass
- the clear runoff harvested from the bioreactor 11 is first collected in the storage tank 80 .
- the liquid medium is processed as a bioreactor outflow by means of distillation and/or rectification 82.
- the outflow is withdrawn via an outflow register
- Bioreactor effluent contains only 5 to 20% of the original solids in the bioreactor.
- This solid-reduced effluent from the fermentation is fed to the ethanol distillation and/or rectification 82 in order to produce an ethanol 83 there with a purity of preferably 96% by volume.
- the stillage 96 that has been drawn off is preferably passed through a clarification separator 90 .
- the yeast cells and/or solids that are still present are separated and concentrated in the sludge collection chamber of the separator.
- the concentrated biomass suspension 92 preferably of about 20 to 24% TS, is periodically discharged via the internal control of the separator. These separated and concentrated yeast cells have already been partially thermolysed in the distillation.
- this biomass suspension 92 is subjected to a final thermolysis or an enzymatic digestion 94 .
- the use of a concentrated biomass suspension reduces the technical effort for the thermolysis and/or the enzymatic digestion.
- Part of the clear runoff 99 from the separation can also be reused to dilute the molasses 26 in order to adjust the substrate concentration when the fermentation substrate solution is prepared. It is thus possible for up to 40% of the bioreactor effluent from each fermentation batch to be returned to the process. The need for process water 22 can be significantly reduced by this reuse of the resulting stillage 96 . The waste water load or the amount of stillage to be disposed of is reduced in the same ratio. In a further step, the biomass suspension and excess suspension 72 are processed and the residue 70 of the bioreactor 11 is emptied.
- the reaction container 11 is cleaned by means of cleaning in place (CIP) 74 only after the end of a batch series and thus after the reactor container has been emptied of residues.
- CIP cleaning in place
- the rinsing water tank (First Rinse) is then refilled with clear water (Last Rinse) and the clear water tank with the corresponding amount of new fresh process water.
- the losses in the CIP solution (NaOH solution) are filled using the well-known method of "sharpening" (filling up with a new NaOH solution according to the pH value).
