Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of exhaust gas treatment equipment, specifically an exhaust gas processor for a synthetic biology fermentation process. Background Technology

[0002] Synthetic biology, initially proposed by B. Hobom in 1980 to describe gene recombination technology, was revived by E. Kool at the American Chemical Society in 2000 with the development of molecular systems biology. In 2003, it was internationally defined as the study of artificial biological systems based on genetic engineering and engineering methods in systems biology. It involves the artificial design and synthesis of gene fragments, DNA molecules, gene regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways to cells, similar to modern integrated architectural engineering. It applies engineering principles and methods to biotechnology fields such as genetic engineering and cell engineering. Synthetic biology, computational biology, and chemical biology together constitute the methodological foundation of systems biotechnology.

[0003] In conventional fermentation, the emitted gas usually carries a certain odor and a small amount of microorganisms. However, general exhaust gas treatment equipment can only filter or adsorb harmful gases and solid particulate impurities in the exhaust gas, but cannot completely kill the microorganisms. Therefore, the fermentation exhaust gas cannot be properly treated, which can easily cause pollution in a closed environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a tail gas processor for synthetic biology fermentation processes, which solves the problem that general tail gas treatment equipment can only filter or adsorb harmful gases and solid particulate impurities in the tail gas, but cannot completely kill the bacteria.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a tail gas processor for a synthetic biology fermentation process, comprising a rectangular tank that is hollow inside and arranged horizontally. Multiple vertical partitions are fixedly connected vertically along the length of the tank. These partitions divide the interior of the tank from front to back into a first cavity, a second cavity, a third cavity, and a fourth cavity. A first mounting port is horizontally opened through the upper part of the front surface of the tank. A first conveying pipe extending to the bottom of the first cavity is fixedly connected inside the first mounting port. A second mounting port is horizontally opened through the upper part of the front surface of the foremost vertical partition. A second conveying pipe extending to the bottom of the second cavity is fixedly connected inside the second mounting port.

[0006] Both the third cavity and the fourth cavity are equipped with a cloth bag filter structure.

[0007] Furthermore, both of the bag filter structures are identical in structure. One of the bag filter structures includes a horizontal partition plate that is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the third cavity. The upper surface of the partition plate is vertically perforated with multiple bag holes. Filter bags with bottom ends extending to the bottom of the inner cavity of the third cavity can be detachably installed at the bottom ends of the multiple bag holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a first connecting pipe connects the upper part of the second cavity and the lower part of the third cavity, a second connecting pipe connects the upper part of the third cavity and the lower part of the fourth cavity, and an exhaust pipe is laterally connected to the upper rear end of the tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the tank is provided with vertically penetrating liquid extraction holes located above the positions of the first cavity and the second cavity, and the top of each of the two liquid extraction holes can be detachably fitted with a sealing plug.

[0010] Furthermore, a maintenance port is vertically opened on the upper surface of the tank and above the third and fourth cavities. A sealing cover can be detachably installed at the top of each of the two maintenance ports, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each of the two sealing covers.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of support pads are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tank.

[0012] Furthermore, a coarse filter element is detachably installed at the front end of the first delivery pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The exhaust gas processor of this synthetic biology fermentation process, by setting up a tank, multiple vertical baffles and two bag filter mechanisms, allows chemical solutions to be added inside the first and second chambers of the device to effectively kill bacteria in the gas. The third and fourth chambers are equipped with bag filter mechanisms, which can filter out fine impurities and also add activated carbon inside the bags to adsorb toxic substances in the exhaust gas, ensuring that the exhaust gas will not pollute the air and improving the practicality of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tail gas processor for a synthetic biology fermentation process, including a rectangular tank 1 that is hollow inside and arranged horizontally. Multiple vertical partitions 2 are fixedly connected vertically along the length of the tank 1. The multiple vertical partitions 2 divide the inside of the tank 1 from front to back into a first cavity 3, a second cavity 4, a third cavity 5 and a fourth cavity 6. A first installation port is opened horizontally through the upper part of the front surface of the tank 1. A first conveying pipe 7 extending to the bottom of the first cavity 3 is fixedly connected inside the first installation port. A second installation port is opened horizontally through the upper part of the front side surface of the frontmost vertical partition 2. A second conveying pipe 8 extending to the bottom of the second cavity 4 is fixedly connected inside the second installation port.

[0020] Both the third chamber 4 and the fourth chamber 5 are equipped with cloth bag filters.

[0021] The two bag filter structures are identical. One of the bag filter structures includes a horizontal partition 10 that is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the third cavity 5. The upper surface of the partition 10 is vertically perforated with multiple bag holes 11. Filter bags with bottom ends extending to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the third cavity 5 can be detachably installed at the bottom ends of the multiple bag holes 11.

[0022] Chemical solutions, such as PBS buffer and sodium citrate solution, can be added to the interior of the first chamber 3 and the second chamber 4. When the exhaust gas enters the interior of the tank 1 through the first delivery pipe 7, since the bottom end of the first delivery pipe 7 extends to the bottom end of the interior of the first chamber 3, it will inevitably enter the interior of the chemical solution. The chemical solution can effectively kill the bacteria inside the exhaust gas. The second delivery pipe 8 has the same function. Then the exhaust gas will enter the interior of the third chamber 5 and the fourth chamber 6. Under the filter of the filter bag inside, the fine dust and impurities in the exhaust gas can be filtered out. Activated carbon can also be added inside the filter bag to adsorb the toxic substances in the exhaust gas. This ensures that the exhaust gas filtered by the device can meet the emission standards and will not cause air pollution.

[0023] A first connecting pipe 14 connects the upper part of the second cavity 4 and the lower part of the third cavity 5. A second connecting pipe 15 connects the upper part of the third cavity 5 and the lower part of the fourth cavity 6. An exhaust pipe 16 is laterally connected to the upper rear end of the tank body 1.

[0024] The second chamber 4 and the third chamber 5 are connected by the first connecting pipe 14, and the third chamber 5 and the fourth chamber 6 are connected by the second connecting pipe 15. Finally, the exhaust gas will be discharged through the exhaust pipe 16.

[0025] The upper surface of the tank 1 is provided with vertically penetrating liquid extraction holes located above the first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4. The top of each liquid extraction hole is detachably fitted with a sealing plug 9.

[0026] The liquid extraction hole can add or extract chemical solutions into the first cavity 3 or the second cavity 4, and is sealed by the sealing plug 9.

[0027] Maintenance ports are vertically opened on the upper surface of the tank body 1, above the third cavity 5 and the fourth cavity 6. The top of each maintenance port is detachably fitted with a sealing cover 12, and the upper surface of each sealing cover 12 is fixedly connected with a handle 13.

[0028] The maintenance ports facilitate the replacement of the cloth bags inside the third chamber 5 and the fourth chamber 6 by the staff. The two maintenance ports are sealed by the sealing cover 12. The outer edge of the sealing cover 12 is provided with screw holes, and the corresponding position on the upper surface of the tank body 1 is also provided with screw holes. The sealing cover 12 is fixed by screws.

[0029] Multiple support pads 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1.

[0030] The support pad 17 serves to support the tank 1 and lift it off the ground, preventing its bottom from being worn and leaking due to prolonged contact with the ground.

[0031] A coarse filter element 18 is detachably installed at the front end of the first delivery pipe 7.

[0032] In actual use, chemical solutions, such as PBS buffer and sodium citrate solution, can be added to the first chamber 3 and the second chamber 4. When the exhaust gas enters the tank 1 through the first delivery pipe 7, since the bottom end of the first delivery pipe 7 extends to the bottom end of the first chamber 3, it will inevitably enter the chemical solution. The chemical solution can effectively kill the bacteria inside the exhaust gas. The second delivery pipe 8 has the same function. Then the exhaust gas will enter the third chamber 5 and the fourth chamber 6. Under the filter of the filter bags inside, the fine dust and impurities in the exhaust gas can be filtered out. Activated carbon can also be added inside the filter bags to adsorb toxic substances in the exhaust gas. This ensures that the exhaust gas filtered by the device meets the emission standards and will not cause air pollution.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
