A new ethanol fermentation process coupled with gas stripping and vacuum fash, named as strip-flash fermentation, is proposed. The process is provided with the advantages of both stripping fermentation and flash fermentation, and improves the ethanol productivity by increasing the in-situ ethanol removal. And a model of flash-strip fermentation process was established, the results from the model were consistent with the experiment values. The theoretically analyses indicate that increasing gas flux and liquid phase recycling ratio can help to enhance productivity and yield of strip-flash fermentation process, and comparison to striping fermentation or flash fermentation, flash-strip fermentation has shown a better productivity. The results has also shown the possibilities of further application and optimization of this process.展开更多

The translation of these discoveries to real outcome now demands parallel approaches which allow large numbers of process options to be rapidly assessed. The engineering challenges in achieving this provide the motivation for the proposed work. In this work we used computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis to study flow conditions in a gas liquid contactor which has the potential to be used as a fermenter on a multi well format. The bioreactor had a working volume of 6 5 mL with the major dimensions equal to those of a single well of a 24 well plate. The 6 5 mL bioreactor was mechanically agitated and aerated by a single sparger placed beneath the bottom impeller. Detailed numerical procedure for solving the governing flow equations is given. The CFD results are combined with population balance equations to establish the size of the bubbles and their distribution in the bioreactor. Power curves with and without aeration are provided based on the simulated results.展开更多
