M. ŠMIDRKAL, A. NEJEDLÝ

A report about the results of investigation concerning the continual production of ethylalcohol on a laboratory, as well as half-commercial scale. The suggested devices are particularly described. Under constant conditions the production cycle required 12 till 17 days, the acidity being 4.0-4.5 ml 0,1 N NaOH/100 ml and the concentration of throughout fermented wort 10.5-11.0 %. The maximal production from 1 hl of fermentation space during 24 hours was 8.67 lt of absolute alcohol. The afflux was divided into several basins. When the afflux of sweet wort was collected into one basin only, the production reached maximal effect of 7.20 lt of absolute alcohol. The effect in alcohol production was 62.20 lt from100 kgof sugar.
