LABORATORY UNIT TO ANALYSE HYDROMETALLURGY PROCESSES INVOLVING MICROORGANISMS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C12M1/06 C12M1/34 C12M3/02 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to studying technological processes in heterogeneous media using microorganisms, particularly, in biohydrometallurgical production of noble metals. The proposed laboratory unit represents a bioreactor mounted between the top and bottom frames. The bioreactor cylindrical housing and cover are screwed together. The top frame accommodates a motor, belt transmission and bearing assembly, the bearing being spaced apart on the shaft. The bioreactor cover is rigidly attached to the top frame via the said bearing assembly. The cover houses a tubular aerator and pickups. The bioreactor housing accommodates a tubular heat exchanger, deflectors and mixer driven by the motor via the bearing assembly shaft.

EFFECT: expanded performances, higher reliability, lower costs and improved ergonomic properties.
