Abstract

A tower fermentor equipped with a modified settler was used for ethanol fermentation using highly flocculating yeast, Saccharomyces uvarum. The settler was constructed of glass column divided into two chambers by a funnel shaped divider. Gas was allowed to escape from lower chamber of the settler through a small tube. This design significantly reduced the turbulence in upper chamber of the settler and made it possible to operate at high dilution rate. Using the tower fermentor, the effects of operating conditions such as initial glucose concentration, dilution rate and cell recycle ratio were studied. The maximum ethanol productivity, 64.0 g/l' h was obtained at a dilution rate 1.1 h -1 and a cell recycle ratio 5 with the corresponding ethanol concentration of 58.8 g/l, and cell mass of 88 g/l.

침강조의 중앙에 깔대기 모양의 판을 설치하고 방해판 아래 다시 공기 방울과 CO2 가스의 별도 배출구를 설치하여 상부로의 난류를 방지하므로 침강 효율이 그게 향상되도록 settler를 고안하였다. 이 settler를 설치한 탑형 발효조에서 응집성효모 S.uvarum의 에탄올 생산성을 검토한 결과 방해판을 설치하지 않은 단순한 원통형 settler에 비하여 1.5배 증대되었다. 또한 탑형 발효조에서 살펴본 균체 순환율이 에탄올 생산성에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 균체 순환울 1-5 사이에서는 에탄올 생산성의 변화가 거의 없었으나 6 이상에서는 균체가 유출되므로 에탄올 생산성이 감소하였다.
