Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of air compressor filtration and discloses a filtration system for an oxygen-supplying air compressor in the xanthan gum fermentation section. It includes a primary filter box and a secondary filter box. A support frame is fixedly connected to the interior of the secondary filter box, and a filtration detection mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the support frame. In this utility model, compressed air from the oxygen-supplying air compressor first enters the primary filter box through a pipeline via the filtration detection mechanism. The pre-purified air then enters the secondary filter box through an air inlet. The air flows upwards within the secondary filter box into three air purification cylinders. Simultaneously with the air entering the filter cylinder probes, particle sensors begin to monitor the number and size distribution of particulate matter in the air. This directly reflects the filtration performance of the activated carbon and whether there is filter element damage or leakage, effectively avoiding the risk of fermentation contamination due to filtration failure.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor filtration, and in particular to an oxygen supply air compressor filtration system for xanthan gum fermentation section. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of xanthan gum, submerged fermentation is the core process. This process is a typical aerobic fermentation process. The supply of oxygen is one of the key limiting factors that determines cell growth, metabolite synthesis, and the final fermentation yield and efficiency. To ensure the efficient operation of the fermentation process, a large amount of sterile air must be continuously introduced into the fermenter to meet the respiratory needs of the microorganisms.

[0003] Traditional filtration systems lack effective process monitoring mechanisms during operation, and their internal working status is opaque to operators. The system cannot provide real-time data feedback on the performance degradation of the filter media, the integrity of the filter element structure, or the failure of the seal. This makes it impossible for operators to assess the operating efficiency of the filtration system in a timely manner, which may cause the system to continue operating even when the filtration performance has dropped below the critical value or even completely failed, posing a significant potential risk of fermentation and contamination. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an oxygen supply air compressor filtration system for the xanthan gum fermentation section, thus solving the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a xanthan gum fermentation section oxygen supply air compressor filtration system, comprising a primary filter box and a secondary filter box. A support frame is fixedly connected to the middle of the interior of the secondary filter box. A filtration detection mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the support frame. The filtration detection mechanism includes a fixed bracket, filter cartridge probes, mounting arms, locking holes, and particle sensors. The left and right ends of the fixed bracket are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the interior of the secondary filter box. Three filter cartridge probes are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed bracket. The lower ends of the three filter cartridge probes are respectively located inside three air purification cartridges, and a particle sensor is provided on the outer side of each filter cartridge probe.

[0006] Preferably, the upper ends of the three air purification cylinders are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame, and each air purification cylinder is provided with activated carbon inside.

[0007] Preferably, mounting arms are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the fixed bracket, and two locking holes are provided on the upper surface of each of the two mounting arms.

[0008] Preferably, an air duct is provided on the inner side of the primary filter box, and the air duct is in communication with the secondary filter box.

[0009] Preferably, the secondary filter box has an exhaust port on the side away from the primary filter box, and the exhaust port is connected to the xanthan gum fermentation tank through a pipe.

[0010] Preferably, an air compressor exhaust pipe is provided on the front side of the primary filter box, and the air compressor exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust end of the oxygen supply air compressor through a pipe.

[0015] Beneficial effects This invention provides a filtration system for an oxygen-supplying air compressor in the xanthan gum fermentation stage. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. In this utility model, through the set filtration and detection mechanism, the compressed air from the oxygen supply air compressor first enters the primary filter box through the pipeline. After initial purification, the air enters the secondary filter box through the air guide port. The air flows upward in the secondary filter box and into the three air purification cylinders. At the same time as the air enters the filter cylinder probe tube, the particle sensor starts to work to monitor the number and particle size distribution of particulate matter in the air. This can directly reflect the filtration performance of activated carbon and whether there is filter element damage or leakage, effectively avoiding the risk of fermentation pollution caused by filtration failure. The clean air after activated carbon adsorption and particulate matter detection is collected in the three filter cylinder probe tubes, flows upward, and finally passes through the exhaust port of the secondary filter box and is transported to the xanthan gum fermentation tank. 2. In this utility model, through the setting of a primary filter box and a secondary filter box, when the air discharged from the oxygen supply air compressor enters the primary filter box, the filter cotton inside the box acts as the first line of defense, intercepting larger dust particles, liquid water droplets, and oil droplets in the air, thus performing preliminary purification of the air. The air that has undergone preliminary purification is smoothly introduced into the secondary filter box through the air guide port on the inner side of the primary filter box. After being adsorbed by activated carbon and detected by particulate matter, the clean air is collected in the three filter cartridge probes, flows upward, and finally passes through the exhaust port on the side of the secondary filter box, and is safely transported to the xanthan gum fermentation tank through a special pipeline, providing high-quality sterile oxygen for the growth of bacteria.
