Title:
PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCT RECOVERY AND CELL RECYCLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023011698
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a device and associated method for recovering at least one product from a fermentation broth.SOLUTION: The invention relates to the use of a vacuum distillation vessel to recover products, such as ethanol, from a fermentation broth, where the fermentation broth comprises viable microbial biomass, and where the recovery of the product is completed in such a manner to ensure the viability of the microbial biomass. The invention provides for product recovery at an effective rate so as to prevent the accumulation of product in the fermentation broth. To ensure the viability of the microbial biomass, the invention is designed to reduce the amount of stress on the microbial biomass. By ensuring the viability of the microbial biomass, the microbial biomass may be recycled and reused in the fermentation process, which may result in an increased efficiency of the fermentation process.SELECTED DRAWING: None
