摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing vinegar by acetic acid fermentation utilizing an automatic alcohol analyzer for measurement of alcohol concentration in a fermenting broth, a feeding apparatus for feeding alcohol solution as raw material to the fermenting broth, and a control computer controllably coupled to the alcohol analyzer and to the feeding apparatus. The alcohol concentration in the fermenting broth is periodically measured by the automatic alcohol analyzer by a direction from the control computer at given intervals over a plurality of cycles of measurement; the control computer calculates a feed rate of alcohol solution as raw material to the fermenting broth so as to control the alcohol concentration in the fermenting broth at a desirable concentration on the basis of a difference between a measured alcohol concentration in the fermenting broth and a desirable alcohol concentration and the alcohol consumption rate calculated during each of the cycles by the control computer; and then the feeding apparatus is operated to control the feed rate of the alcohol solution responsive to a control signal generated by the control computer as a result of the aforementioned calculations, to thereby controllably feed alcohol solution as raw material to the fermenting broth.
摘要:
A method for the submersed, automatically controlled production of fermentation vinegar from ethanol is conducted in two stages. The installation for accomplishing the method includes one or more pre-fermenters and a product fermenter, in connection with which each pre-fermenter exhibits a volume 1.7 to 3.5 times that of the product fermenter. The terminus of the fermentation is reached in the product fermenter when the dissolved oxygen, indicated by means of an oxygen electrode, rises, at which point the product valve is opened. The product fermenter is evacuated when no more alcohol remainder is present. In the final step the alcohol is therefore completely utilized.
