Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Processes, as well as associated systems, are disclosed for the biological conversion of CO into desired end products such as ethanol. The use of a plurality of perforated plates, for example in the riser section of a bioreactor, which are positioned substantially horizontally and normal to the upward flow of both a CO-containing substrate and liquid culture medium, can significantly improve CO utilization of the bacteria and consequently the overall process economics. The geometry of apertures in the perforated plates is an important determinant of their performance, with fractal patterns and other multi-edged shapes leading to particularly advantageous results.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A biological process for converting carbon monoxide (CO) into an end product, the process comprising: feeding a CO-containing substrate to a bioreactor containing carboxydotrophic bacteria in a liquid culture medium, to convert CO in the CO-containing substrate to the end product; wherein the bioreactor comprises a plurality of perforated plates arranged therein in substantially horizontal planes and each perforated plate comprising apertures through which…
