Possibility and necessity of mashine research for realization new biotechnologies.Peer-reviewed article

J. ŠVANDA

The production of large-scale fermentors has been successfully introduced by the Czechoslovak mechanical engineering. The operation of the fermentors with a capacity of 800 m³ fitted with three stirring units has been tested resulting satisfactorily as well as that of the tree stage film evaporator arranged with the thermocompressor to produce yeast milk. The performance of the formed equipment is 24 000 t SCP per year the production being obtained from waste sulfite liquors. The performance of the latter is 10.7 t evaporated water per hour the yeast milk being thickened from 14 mass % of dry matter to 25 mass %. Actually, the research is concerned with the preparation of the technical documentation for sterile fermentors, air- and liquid fluid sterilizers, crystallizers and citric acid driers.
