    Abstract: A system for providing improved bulk liquid mixing and effective gas-liquid contacting for mass transfer of the gas to the liquid, especially a non-Newtonian liquid, the viscosity of which decreases when under shearing conditions (shear thinning), in an upright tank. A process, such as fermentation which produces commercial quantities of polysaccharides such as xanthan gum. may be carried out in the tank. An upright draft tube is mounted within the tank and has a lower end spaced from the tank bottom and an upper end spaced below the surface of the liquid in the tank. A plurality of mixing impellers in the draft tube are sufficiently close to each other to establish a field or pattern of agitation to cause shear thinning and upflow throughout the draft tube and which may produce turbulence at the liquid surface. A plurality of radially inwardly projecting. circumferentially spaced baffles extend from the draft tube and are proximate the mixing impellers to prevent swirling of the liquid within the draft tube. Gas may be sparged into the vessel in or adjacent to the lower end of the draft tube. A circulating co-current flow of gas and liquid, with intimate gas-liquid contact, is induced up through the draft tube and out the upper end of the draft tube so as to provide a high rate of mass transfer from the gas to the liquid. The flow including entrained gas turns down through the annular region between the tank wall and the draft tube for recirculation of the liquid and gas above the surface of the liquid, resulting in high gas holdup and gas-liquid contact in the downflow annular region and in the upflow draft tube region, without gas flooding of the impellers. The concentration of dissolved gas and the effectiveness of the system for gas-phase mass transfer is determined by reaeration of a test sample of the liquid. Additional surface aeration can be provided with a surface impeller having a plurality of blades with vertical portions and outwardly inclined portions, the vertical portions being inclined with respect to radial lines from the axis of rotation of the impeller.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for improving the quality of mixing of liquid especially viscous media in stirred tank reactors, wherein a change in direction of the medium set in motion is brought about at one point or at several points of the inner wall of the reactor at different levels, in a direction vertical to the angle of approaching flow (attack). The process is especially suitable for fermentation reactions.The invention moreover relates to a corresponding stirred tank reactor.

    Abstract: A continuous process for culturing a micro-organism in an aqueous nutrient medium under aerobic conditions in the presence of a liquefied hydrocarbon gas as a main carbon source which comprises adding fresh liquefied hydrocarbon gas to the culture medium, determining the concentration of dissolved liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the culture medium and controlling the addition of fresh liquefied hydrocarbon gas depending upon the detected concentration of said liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the culture medium, the supply and dissolution of the liquefied hydrocarbon gas being based on the rate of said gas consumed by the micro-organisms. Alternatively, the partial pressure of the liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the vent gas can be measured and used to control the rate of liquefied hydrocarbon gas supplied to the culture medium.
