This invention discloses an internal and external dual-circulation
airlift aerobic
fermentation device, relating to the field of microbial aerobic
fermentation. The device includes a gas conveying
system, a fermenter, a
circulating pump, a circulating cooler, a liquid
distributor, a liquid-gas jet emulsification device, a gas
distributor, a
guide tube, an internal coil
heat exchanger, and a circulating liquid suction device. This invention utilizes multiple centrally symmetrical liquid-gas jet emulsification devices within the fermenter, employing high-speed liquid flow to strongly shear and collide with the
gas phase, breaking the air into micron-sized fine bubbles, thus significantly increasing the gas-liquid contact surface area. Simultaneously, the use of rotating jets and a
guide tube design ensures thorough mixing of the gas and liquid phases during the jetting process, forming an innovative internal and external dual-circulation mode. This invention combines the advantages of traditional mechanical stirring and
airlift fermenters, significantly improving the production capacity and
oxygen utilization rate of the
fermentation device while substantially reducing
energy consumption.
