Description

多槽式細胞回流連續生產乙醇之方法Method for continuously producing ethanol by multi-tank cell reflux

本發明係關於一種生產乙醇的方法,特別是關於一種以多槽式細胞回流提高連續生產乙醇效率的方法。This invention relates to a process for the production of ethanol, and more particularly to a process for increasing the efficiency of continuous production of ethanol by multi-tank cell reflux.

生質酒精,也可叫做生物乙醇,就是利用微生物醱酵把生質(biomass)中的醣分轉化所得到的乙醇。生質為來自生物體而非石化有機物,一般指的是植物藉由光合作用產生的含碳化合物。Biomass alcohol, also known as bioethanol, is the use of microbial fermentation to convert the sugar in the biomass (biomass) to ethanol. Biomass is derived from organisms rather than petrochemicals and generally refers to carbonaceous compounds produced by plants through photosynthesis.

近年來,由於全球石油需求劇增,加上國際政治處於不穩定的狀態,使得油價居高不下。以我國能源需求情況,乃大量仰賴石油進口,在經濟上導致工業的製造成本與消費物價大幅上揚,造成民生不穩定,這現象其實已間接影響國家的安全。又世界各國在追求經濟繁榮之過程中,大量使用各種資源同時也汙染環境,造成全球氣候暖化問題日益嚴重。各國為減少溫室氣體排放,無不積極開發各種潔淨能源技術,譬如,生質能、風能、太陽能、氫能與燃料電池,整合性煤氣化複循環電廠(IGCC)等。在此情勢下使得生質能源之市場動能急遽升高,漸有與石油相抗衡之趨勢。生質能源開發具有能源自主、農業發展、環境保護與經濟成長等綜效。我國能源98%以上依賴進口,在國際油、氣市場供應日益吃緊情況下,開發自有能源實特具意義,並可提供農業發展新契機。能源作物在生長過程中可以吸收二氧化碳等溫室氣體,對於環境改善頗有助益。且生質能源產業一旦達到規模經濟之後,對於就業、所得和產出等效果將有鉅大貢獻。因此,我國無論從能源、環境和經濟等層面考量,生質能源是值得大力推動的項目。In recent years, due to the sharp increase in global oil demand and the instability of international politics, oil prices have remained high. In view of China's energy demand, it is heavily dependent on oil imports, which has led to a sharp rise in the manufacturing costs and consumer prices of the industry, resulting in instability in people's livelihood. This phenomenon has indirectly affected the security of the country. In the process of pursuing economic prosperity, countries around the world have used a lot of resources and polluted the environment, causing the global climate warming problem to become increasingly serious. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, all countries are actively developing various clean energy technologies, such as biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and integrated gasification cycle power plants (IGCC). In this situation, the market kinetic energy of biomass energy has risen sharply, and there is a tendency to compete with oil. Biomass energy development has the synergy of energy independence, agricultural development, environmental protection and economic growth. More than 98% of China's energy is dependent on imports. In the case of increasingly tight supply in the international oil and gas market, the development of its own energy is of special significance and can provide new opportunities for agricultural development. Energy crops can absorb greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide during their growth, which is helpful for environmental improvement. And once the biomass energy industry reaches the scale economy, it will make a great contribution to the effects of employment, income and output. Therefore, regardless of energy, environment and economic considerations in China, biomass energy is a project worthy of vigorous promotion.

早在1970年代石油危機時,巴西、美國就積極投入生質酒精工業的發展,近年來在CO2超量排放、全球氣候暖化、國際原油供需不穩定和價格持續上漲等因素影響下,有越來越多的國家投入。2006年全球的生質酒精產量約4千萬公秉,90%生產於巴西和美國。巴西以甘蔗為原料,美國則以玉米為主生產生質酒精,甘蔗和玉米分別是糖質和澱粉質作物。國內的經濟部已指示國營事業帶頭籌設生質酒精工廠,以甘蔗、甜高粱等為原料生產生質酒精。As early as the oil crisis of the 1970s, Brazil and the United States actively invested in the development of the bio-alcohol industry. In recent years, under the influence of factors such as excessive CO 2 emissions, global warming, unstable supply and demand of international crude oil, and rising prices, More and more countries are investing. In 2006, the global production of raw alcohol was about 40 million metric tons, and 90% was produced in Brazil and the United States. Brazil uses sugar cane as a raw material, while the United States produces corn with predominantly corn. Sugar cane and corn are sugar and starchy crops, respectively. The Ministry of Economic Affairs of the country has instructed the state-owned enterprises to take the lead in setting up a biomass alcohol factory to produce quality alcohol from sugar cane and sweet sorghum.

生質酒精是一種大宗化學物資,必須大量生產才能符合成本,因此醱酵程序的改善是極為重要的研究主題。生質酒精的醱酵方法常使用批次醱酵、饋料批式與連續式醱酵。批次醱酵較常用在醱酵時間長、產量小或應用於固態醱酵程序上。但是高糖濃度之下醱酵卻會產生基質抑制作用,造成醱酵時間過長大大降低乙醇生產速率。為了改善基質(例如葡萄糖)抑制可以採用饋料批式醱酵,但還是會有乙醇抑制問題,利用連續醱酵是可以降低這些抑制作用並提高產率。連續醱酵可以提升產率,但是醱酵時的稀釋速率(dilution rate)不能大於菌體的生長速率,否則會造成菌體溢流洗出現象。Biomass alcohol is a large-scale chemical that must be mass-produced to meet cost, so the improvement of the fermentation process is an extremely important research topic. The fermentation method of raw alcohol often uses batch fermentation, feed batch and continuous fermentation. Batch fermentation is more commonly used in long fermentation times, low yields or applied to solid fermentation procedures. However, fermentation under high sugar concentration produces matrix inhibition, which causes the fermentation time to be too long and greatly reduces the rate of ethanol production. In order to improve the inhibition of matrix (such as glucose), feed batch fermentation can be used, but there is still a problem of ethanol inhibition, and continuous fermentation can reduce these inhibitions and increase the yield. Continuous fermentation can increase the yield, but the dilution rate during fermentation cannot be greater than the growth rate of the cells, otherwise it will cause the overflow of the cells to appear.

較早的專利(美國專利號US4443544)利用薄膜過濾的方式將Zymomonas mobilis醱酵液中的菌體與產物分離,回流到醱酵槽進行連續醱酵,此舉雖然可提高槽內菌體濃度,但使用薄膜過濾方式回收菌體回流使用成本較高,並不經濟。Earlier patents (US Pat. No. 4,443,544) used membrane filtration to separate the bacteria and products from the Zymomonas mobilis broth and return to the fermentation tank for continuous fermentation, which increased the concentration of the cells in the tank. However, it is not economical to use a membrane filtration method to recover the reflux of the cells.

美國專利(US 4567145)即以單一醱酵槽配備沉降式的細胞回流裝置來醱酵葡萄糖得到乙醇,所用之凝聚性酵母菌為呼吸代謝缺陷之Saccharomyces uvarum變異株(來自Saccharomyces uvarum 26602),實施例顯示在葡萄糖進料濃度135 g/L,稀釋速率0.129 h-1之下連續醱酵,得到的乙醇產率(ethanol productivity)為6.7 g L-1h-1,若要提高乙醇產率,稀釋速率需再上升。U.S. Patent No. 4,567,145, which uses a single cell fermentation tank equipped with a sedimentation cell reflux device to ferment glucose to obtain ethanol, and the coagulating yeast used is a Saccharomyces uvarum mutant of respiratory metabolic defects (from Saccharomyces uvarum 26602), examples display / L, a dilution rate of 0.129 h -1 under Po continuous fermentation, ethanol yield (ethanol productivity) was obtained 6.7 g L -1 h -1, to increase ethanol yield, diluted in 135 g glucose feed concentration The rate needs to rise again.

最近提出之日本專利(WO 2008120644),也是利用單一醱酵槽配備沉降式的細胞回流裝置來醱酵高濃度的葡萄糖得到乙醇,所用的凝聚性酵母菌為Saccharomyces cerevisae AM12,進料葡萄糖濃度是200g/L,稀釋速率(D)在0.2≦D≦0.3之間操作,乙醇產率可達15 g L-1h-1以上。The recently proposed Japanese patent (WO 2008120644) also uses a single fermentation tank equipped with a sedimentation type cell reflux device to ferment a high concentration of glucose to obtain ethanol. The coagulating yeast used is Saccharomyces cerevisae AM12 , and the feed glucose concentration is 200 g. /L, the dilution rate (D) is operated between 0.2 ≦D ≦ 0.3, and the ethanol yield can reach 15 g L -1 h -1 or more.

由於乙醇醱酵因原料來源不同,可醱酵糖不見得是葡萄糖,而且糖類濃度並非都可以控制在高濃度,若以蔗汁為原料製造生質乙醇,蔗汁中的糖類主要是蔗糖,濃度約80 g/L,欲濃縮至高濃度再醱酵不符合經濟效益。近來雖有論文提出利用凝絮性酵母菌作為醱酵菌株,做單一醱酵槽連續式菌體回流醱酵程序之研究,該篇論文是以模擬初榨蔗汁做為營養基質進料,稀釋速率為0.24 h-1,乙醇產率達9.14 g L-1h-1。說明將進料換成蔗汁後,與前述以葡萄糖進料的醱酵方法比較,利用蔗汁進料的醱酵乙醇產率大幅降低。Because ethanol fermentation is different depending on the source of raw materials, the sugar can not be glucose, and the concentration of sugar can not be controlled at a high concentration. If sugar cane is used as raw material to produce raw ethanol, the sugar in sugar cane juice is mainly sucrose. About 80 g/L, it is not economical to concentrate to a high concentration and then ferment. Recently, although there have been papers on the use of flocculent yeast as a fermentation strain, a single fermentation tank continuous cell reflux fermentation process was studied. This paper uses simulated virgin cane juice as a nutrient substrate feed, diluted. The rate was 0.24 h -1 and the yield of ethanol was 9.14 g L -1 h -1 . It is indicated that after the feed is changed into the cane juice, the yield of the fermented ethanol using the cane juice is greatly reduced as compared with the aforementioned fermentation method using the glucose feed.

故若能研發出不受醱酵原料限制之醱酵方法,亦即可將蔗汁轉化為乙醇且提升轉化效率、產率之醱酵方法,無論從能源、環境和經濟等層面來看,皆為一大益處。Therefore, if we can develop a fermentation method that is not restricted by the fermentation material, we can also convert the cane juice into ethanol and improve the conversion efficiency and yield of the fermentation method, regardless of energy, environment and economy. For a big benefit.

In the scope of the invention, the scope of protection of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.

本發明係以多槽式菌體回流醱酵方式連續生產乙醇,此醱酵包括二組或二組以上的生物反應器(醱酵槽)與菌體沉降循環回流裝置。在一定濃度的糖類(蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖或三者之任一組合)進料之下,設定0.8~0.9之菌體回流比率(r)及0.25~0.48 gL-1h-1之稀釋速率(D)進行連續醱酵,經過一段起始期(start-up)之後,醱酵槽菌體濃度達到一穩定值,此時槽內糖類及產物(乙醇)的濃度皆維持不變。The invention continuously produces ethanol by a multi-tank reflux fermentation method, and the fermentation comprises two or more sets of bioreactors (fermentation tanks) and a bacterial sedimentation circulation reflux device.

這裡所提的菌體沉降循環回流裝置構造簡單,任何一直立的容器皆可作為細胞沉降的場所,與醱酵槽出口連接,凝聚性酵母菌即迅速凝聚並因重力而下沉,底部的細胞以泵浦送回醱酵槽,上層澄清之醱酵液則移出進入下一醱酵槽或送至乙醇收集單元。The cell sedimentation circulation reflux device mentioned here has a simple structure, and any container that is standing upright can be used as a place for cell sedimentation, and is connected with the outlet of the fermentation tank, and the coagulating yeast rapidly aggregates and sinks due to gravity, and the cells at the bottom The pump is sent back to the fermentation tank, and the supernatant clarified broth is removed to the next fermentation tank or sent to the ethanol collection unit.

本發明實施例以Saccharomyces diastaticus LORRE-316酵母菌(普渡大學LORRE實驗室提供,寄存編號為BCRC 920074)作為示例,但本發明於實施上並不局限於此種凝聚性酵母菌,任何具凝聚性之乙醇生產酵母菌皆可應用於此。The present invention is exemplified by Saccharomyces diastaticus LORRE-316 yeast (provided by Purdue University LORRE Laboratory, registration number BCRC 920074), but the present invention is not limited to the implementation of such cohesive yeast, and any condensation Sexual ethanol production yeast can be applied to this.

本發明實施例使用之醱酵方法以二組醱酵槽作為例示,如第一圖。在第一圖的醱酵系統1中,原料自原料槽14經由第一開關181進入第一醱酵槽121,再由第二開關182進入第一細胞沉降器131,在第一細胞沉降器131中,菌體會凝聚並因重力下沉,使第一細胞沉降器131底部富含酵母菌細胞,再由第四開關184回流至第一醱酵槽121,另外第一細胞沉降器131中上層澄清的醱酵液經由第五開關185流入第二醱酵槽122,再由第六開關186進入第二細胞沉降器132,在第二細胞沉降器132中,菌體會凝聚並因重力下沉,使第二細胞沉降器132底部富含酵母菌細胞,再由第七開關187回流至第二醱酵槽122,另外第二細胞沉降器132中上層澄清的醱酵液經由第八開關188流入乙醇收集單元15。The fermentation method used in the examples of the present invention is exemplified by two sets of fermentation tanks, as shown in the first figure. In the fermentation system 1 of the first figure, the raw material enters the first fermentation tank 121 from the raw material tank 14 via the first switch 181, and then enters the first cell settler 131 by the second switch 182, in the first cell settler 131. In the middle, the cells will agglomerate and sink by gravity, so that the bottom of the first cell settler 131 is rich in yeast cells, and then is returned to the first fermentation tank 121 by the fourth switch 184, and the upper layer of the first cell settler 131 is clarified. The broth is flowed into the second fermentation tank 122 via the fifth switch 185, and then enters the second cell settler 132 by the sixth switch 186. In the second cell settler 132, the bacteria will aggregate and sink by gravity, so that The bottom of the second cell settler 132 is rich in yeast cells, and is returned to the second fermentation tank 122 by the seventh switch 187, and the supernatant clarified fermentation liquid in the second cell settler 132 flows into the ethanol collection via the eighth switch 188. Unit 15.

其中第一醱酵槽121與第二醱酵槽122之容量為5L,第一細胞沉降器131及第二細胞沉降器132為圓柱型玻璃管,直徑為4 cm、高42.5 cm。另外,第一醱酵槽121與第二醱酵槽122各自接有一通氣裝置,該通氣裝置包含氣體控制裝置111與氣體過濾裝置112,以對第一醱酵槽121與第二醱酵槽122內通入氣體,該氣體為含氧氣體,可為空氣或氧氣。且第一醱酵槽121與第二醱酵槽122連接一個人電腦17,控制第一醱酵槽121與第二醱酵槽122內之pH值、溫度以及溶氧量,其中pH值為5~6,常用醱酵溫度為30~40℃,通氣量為1 vvm。The first fermentation tank 121 and the second fermentation tank 122 have a capacity of 5 L. The first cell settler 131 and the second cell settler 132 are cylindrical glass tubes having a diameter of 4 cm and a height of 42.5 cm. In addition, the first fermentation tank 121 and the second fermentation tank 122 are each connected with a ventilation device, and the ventilation device includes a gas control device 111 and a gas filtering device 112 for the first fermentation tank 121 and the second fermentation tank 122. A gas is introduced therein, which is an oxygen-containing gas, which may be air or oxygen. The first fermentation tank 121 and the second fermentation tank 122 are connected to a personal computer 17 to control the pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen in the first fermentation tank 121 and the second fermentation tank 122, wherein the pH value is 5~ 6, commonly used fermentation temperature is 30 ~ 40 ° C, ventilation is 1 vvm.

為了讓第一醱酵槽121之後的醱酵槽能在起始期有比較高的基質濃度,方便槽內菌體濃度比較快速提高,本發明建議在醱酵初期將醱酵槽與醱酵槽之間的管線(於第一圖中為第三開關181所控制之管線)開啟,但到達穩定之連續操作期,這個連通原則上是關閉狀態。這個使醱酵槽濃度較快達到連續操作期動作,在低濃度的糖類,如80g/L的蔗糖溶液進料時,效果較不明顯,但發明人在另一實施例中(文中未顯示),在高濃度的糖類,如超過150g/L進料時,可顯著縮短醱酵槽之菌體濃度達連續操作期的時間。In order to allow the fermentation tank after the first fermentation tank 121 to have a relatively high substrate concentration at the initial stage, the concentration of the bacteria in the tank is relatively fast, and the present invention suggests that the fermentation tank and the fermentation tank should be in the early stage of fermentation. The inter-line (the line controlled by the third switch 181 in the first figure) is turned on, but reaches a stable continuous operation period, which is in principle closed. This makes the concentration of the fermentation tank reach the continuous operation period, and the effect is less obvious when the low concentration of sugar, such as 80g/L sucrose solution is fed, but the inventor is in another embodiment (not shown).

The saccharide raw material is further concentrated in advance.

另外,本發明之方法可以在高稀釋速率之下操作,高稀釋速率有避免雜菌生長、維持系統穩定等優點。而影響連續醱酵製造乙醇效率的因素,除了進料糖類濃度之外,稀釋速率是主要的操作變因,當連續醱酵達穩定狀態(steady state)時,稀釋速率等於醱酵槽內菌體的生長速率,故較低的稀釋速率比較容易達成,進料糖類可完全被消化而無殘留糖存在。In addition, the method of the present invention can be operated at a high dilution rate, and the high dilution rate has the advantages of avoiding the growth of bacteria, maintaining the stability of the system, and the like. In addition to the feed sugar concentration, the dilution rate is the main operational cause, and the dilution rate is equal to the bacteria in the fermentation tank. The growth rate, so the lower dilution rate is easier to achieve, the feed sugar can be completely digested without residual sugar.

綜合而言,本發明充分利用細胞回流與多槽串聯連續操作兩者優點的加成作用,提出與過去不同的乙醇醱酵程序,使本發明之方法不受糖類原料的限制,亦可於高稀釋速率下操作,達到節省成本、避免雜菌生長以及系統穩定等優點。In summary, the present invention fully utilizes the additive effect of both cell reflux and multi-tank serial continuous operation, and proposes a different ethanol fermentation procedure than in the past, so that the method of the present invention is not limited by the sugar raw material, and can also be high. Operating at a dilution rate to achieve cost savings, avoiding the growth of bacteria and system stability.
