Problems solved by technology

For this, there are different method variants with corresponding equipment parts, which are generally relatively complex and therefore also more expensive in terms of purchase, operation and maintenance and repair
However, since many fast fermentation products are first produced in existing operations as so-called marginal products or by-products, they are often continued to be used according to figure 1 The uneconomical traditional fermentation method

Embodiment Construction

[0056] The same reference numerals will be used for identical or identically acting elements of the invention. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, the individual figures are marked with only the reference numerals which are necessary for the description of the respective figure. The described embodiments represent only examples of how the fermenter according to the invention, the plant according to the invention and the method according to the invention can be designed and do not represent a limitation of the invention.

[0057] Figure 2A The cross-sectional view schematically shows a comparison of a conventional fermenter 12 (left) and a fermenter 30 modified according to the present invention (right). The fermenter 30 according to the invention has at least one filling line 32 for the preferably continuous introduction of fresh liquid and at least one discharge line 34 for the likewise preferably continuous discharge of preferably at least partially fermented liquid.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a tank (30) for fermentation, having at least one filling line (32) for feeding a fresh fluid and at least one discharge line (34) for discharging an at least partially fermented fluid. The tank (30) comprises a pipeline (36) associated with the filling line (32) or the discharge line (34) and guiding or calming the fluid present in the tank (30). The pipeline (36) comprises an open bottom side (38). The invention further relates to a device for fermentation from a multistage arrangement (54) of two or more tanks (301, 302, 303, 304, 305) coupled to each other in a cascade for fermentation. The invention further relates to a method for continuous or semi-continuous fermentation of a substrate and / or of fluids within at least one tank (301, 302, 303, 304, 305) for fermentation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fermenter. The tank has at least one filling line into which fresh liquid is fed and at least one discharge line from which at least partially fermented liquid is discharged. [0002] The invention also relates to a fermentation device. The plant has a multistage system of two or more fermenters connected in cascade to each other. [0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the continuous or semi-continuous fermentation of a liquid in at least one fermenter. Background technique [0004] A large number of different methods and devices are known for fermenting liquids (substrates), which are mainly used for food preparation and which are partly formed by modifying conventional fermenters with built-ins and / or retrofits. [0005] DE 2436793 A1 discloses, for example, an apparatus for the aerobic fermentation of substrates by microorganisms, in which, in the fermenter, downwardly and upwardly open guide tubes ...
