    Abstract: A process provides high ethanol productivity levels during fermentation of a CO-containing substrate. The process controls CO-substrate feed rates and cell density to avoid culture upset and CO inhibition. The process includes fermenting a CO-containing gaseous substrate to obtain a target cell density and a target CO feed rate, and then periodically reducing and increasing the CO feed rate.

    Abstract: A process is provided for fermenting CO-containing gaseous substrates. The process is effective for decreasing lag times and maintaining a culture in steady state by controlling CO concentration and minimizing effects of high or low CO concentrations during fermentation. The process includes providing syngas to a first fermentation zone, fermenting the syngas, and determining a CO concentration in a fermentation medium in the first fermentation zone. If the CO concentration in fermentation medium in the first fermentation zone has a calculated value of about 0.12 mM or greater, then at least a portion of the syngas being provided to the first fermentation zone is provided to one or more subsequent fermentation zones in an amount effective for providing a calculated CO concentration in any subsequent fermentation zone of about 0.12 mM or less.

    Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for reducing content of tar in a tar containing syngas. The process includes contacting the tar containing syngas with a molecular oxygen containing gas in a first reaction zone to produce a gas mixture. The gas mixture is passed through a heat treatment zone maintained at a temperature between about 900° C. to about 2000° C. for a contact time of about 0.5 to about 5 seconds. In this aspect, at least a portion of the tar undergoes at least partial oxidation and/or cracking to produce a hot syngas.
