APPARATUS FOR GROWING MICROORGANISMS IN LARGE-TONNAGE PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC C12M1/02 C12M1/04 C12M1/38 

FIELD: microbiological industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the microbiological industry, in particular to devices for growing microorganisms on natural gas in large-tonnage production. The apparatus for growing microorganisms contains a housing, technological pipes for supplying solutions of mineral salts and titrating agents, technological pipes for supplying natural gas and air. The device is equipped with one jet aerator connected to liquid and gas phase recirculation systems. The liquid phase recirculation system may consist of several circuits, each of which includes a heat exchanger, a circulation pump for supplying liquid to the aerator and connecting pipelines. Inside the housing, in its lower part, a bump is coaxially installed in the form of two truncated housings and connected together, in the upper part, the bump is connected to a pipeline for removing the degassed gas mixture to the upper part of the apparatus above the level of the gas-liquid mixture. Also, the jet aerator is connected to the gas phase recirculation system. The upper part of the jet aerator is divided by vertical plates with the formation of isolated chambers, the number of which is equal to the number of circulation circuits.

EFFECT: proposed is apparatus for growing microorganisms in large-tonnage production.
