Fermenters for fodder protein production in factory Kojetín.Peer-reviewed article

Z. AUNICKÝ, F. ŠTROS

A description , characteristics and efficiency of a new type of the large-scale fermenter for fodder protein production from synthetic ethanol is described. The fermenter with the volume of 200 m³ is equipped with a new type of the aeration system which permits to increase the value of oxygen transfer rate to the level of 170-180 mol O₂ . m^-3 . h^-1. The maximum productivity of the fermenter with this oxygen transfer rate is 337 kg of the cell dry weight per hour. Also an evaluation of process parameters measured is discussed.
