Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of microbial fermentation equipment, in particular to a venturi Velezius bacillus fermentation device. Background Art

[0002] Fermentation refers to the process in which people use the life activities of microorganisms under aerobic or anaerobic conditions to prepare microbial cells themselves, direct metabolites or secondary metabolites. Fermentation usually refers to a certain decomposition process of organic matter by organisms. Fermentation is a biochemical reaction that humans have been exposed to for a long time. It is now widely used in the food industry, biological and chemical industries.

[0003] Bacillus Velez is a type of spore-forming Gram-positive bacteria that can be isolated from oceans, river sediments, soil, plant roots, plant tissues, and animal intestines. The colonies of Bacillus Velez are milky white, round, smooth, slightly convex, and sticky. It is widely distributed in nature and has excellent biological characteristics such as stress resistance, rapid growth, and easy separation. It also has the advantages of easy cultivation, safety, harmlessness, and pollution-free. Studies have found that Bacillus Velez can be used for wastewater treatment, water purification, and reducing the content of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and nitrate in water. The application of Bacillus Velez in industrial production is still in the early stages of research. There are still many areas that can be studied and expanded in the future, and it has broad application and development prospects.

[0004] Fermentation tanks are key biochemical reaction equipment in fermentation industrial production, and aerobic fermentation tanks are key equipment for fermentation industrial production of antibiotics, glutamic acid, citric acid, yeast, etc. In biological fermentation production, the universal fermentation tanks commonly used today have a transmission stirring device with a multi-stage mechanical stirrer in the tank, and a plurality of forms of ventilation devices are provided at the bottom of the tank, so that the culture medium materials are mixed more evenly, while increasing the dissolved oxygen rate, thereby increasing the oxygen utilization rate. However, the existing microbial aerobic fermentation tanks directly press air into the air compressor, and the air supply is too large, which will lead to increased energy consumption and increased operating costs. At the same time, the air contains a large amount of moisture, suspended matter and a small amount of microorganisms, which will pollute the culture medium in the fermentation tank directly when directly introduced into the tank body, thereby reducing the fermentation efficiency and purity, and even causing fermentation failure. Therefore, it is an existing problem to be solved urgently to develop a low-energy fermentation tank that can simultaneously achieve stirring and air introduction, and treat the introduced air.
