APPARATUS FOR SCRUBBING AND DEODORIZING FERMENTER GAS-AIR DISCHARGES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: microbiological industry; chemical engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes absorber 1 communicating with pipe 2 to convey fermenter-discharged gases to be scrubbed. Absorber 1 communicates with alkaline solution reservoir 5 via gas pipe 3 and liquid pipe 4. Alkaline solution reservoir 5 is connected by pipe 7 to packed ozone absorber 8 whose upper portion is linked to pipe 2 employed to convey fermenter-discharged gases to be scrubbed by gas recirculation pipe 9 at inlet to absorber 1. Packed ozone absorber 8 is in communication with upper portion of absorber 1 via circulation pipe 10. Gas chamber of absorber 1 encloses quartz shells each of which carries three ultra-violet lamps. Quartz shells are provided with face covers and compressed air pipes 14. Packed ozone absorber 8 communicates with ozonizer 16 via pipe 15. EFFECT: more sophisticated design. 3 cl, 1 dwg
