Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) system for conversion of syngas components to liquid products

InactiveUS20090035848A1Increase surface areaEconomical and high product volumetric production rate systemBioreactor/fermenter combinationsBiological substance pretreatmentsChemistryBiomass
A moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) produces liquid products from a gaseous substrate of CO and / or CO2 / H2 using a biomass that grows on the surface of carrier suspended in a fermentation broth into which the gaseous substrate is at least partially dissolved. The injection devices include gas spargers and preferably a high efficiency gas transfer system such as jet or slot aerator / gas transfer devices. The gas injection device creates eddy currents in the surrounding liquid for thoroughly mixing the fermentation broth in a fermentation vessel. Gas bubbles from the gas delivery device rise through the liquid surface and provide additional mixing and gas dissolution. The motion of gas and liquid keeps the biomass carrier moving can also provide sufficient shear so as to maintain the biofilm thickness on the biomass carrier media in the desirable range. The result of combining a MBBR system for gaseous components of CO and / or CO2 / H2 with a highly efficient gas transfer system results in an economical and high product volumetric production rate system for producing liquid fuels such as ethanol.

Cleaning with electrically charged aerosols

In a method for cleaning a wafer, the wafer is placed a processing chamber. A layer or film of liquid is provided on the wafer. Electrically charged aerosol droplets of a liquid are formed and directed to the workpiece. The charged aerosol particles accumulate on the workpiece. This creates an electrical charge on the workpiece. Contaminant particles on the workpiece are released and / or repelled by the electrical charge and are carried away in the liquid layer. The liquid layer is optionally continuously replenished with fresh liquid. The liquid layer may be thinned out in a localized aerosol impingement area, via a jet of gas, to allow the electrical charge of the aerosol to better collect on or near the surface of the workpiece.
