摘要： A method for deodorizing a storage tank having mercaptan residue disposed therein includes the steps of delivering a cleaning material to the storage tank, and absorbing the mercaptan residue from the walls of the tank into the cleaning material. The cleaning material having absorbed the mercaptan is transferred to a recovery vessel. The mercaptan is continuously sparged from the cleaning material with natural gas for continuously and repeated using the cleaning material.

摘要： The invention relates to an apparatus for the aerobic multiplication of micro-organisms. A tank with a conical bottom shape holds the fermentation broth and a circulating pump outside the tank circulates the fermentation broth from the bottom of the tank to the top. A heat exchanger maintains the desired process temperature. In accordance with the invention, the apparatus includes at least one atomizing nozzle contained within a vortex chamber for the fine atomization of the fermentation broth and for the mixing with process gas in the top of the tank above the fermentation broth. The fermentation broth in the lower portion of the tank is at a quiescent state without mechanical agitation.

摘要： The present invention is directed to microbiological processes for the oxidative treatment of refractory gold and base metal ores and concentrates, and particularly, an apparatus for testing refractory gold and sulfidic base metal ores for their suitability to heap biooxidation or bioleaching processes. The invention can be used to simulate heap biooxidation. This apparatus incorporates features of heap biooxidation and may be used to generate engineering data for creating detailed process and engineering designs. The invention can be used to develop a select population of bacteria geared to optimize biooxidation of a specific refractory ore.

摘要： A compost tea system uses a water-holding tank for containing process water. Compost is immersed into the water in the tank in baskets defining a filter media. Air is pumped into membrane disk diffuser modules in the tank and the liquid is sparged with fine bubbles to thoroughly agitate the liquid, extract nutrients and microorganisms from the compost, and to ensure a high concentration of dissolved oxygen in the liquid. The high level of oxygen selects for desired aerobic organisms to produce a rich compost tea. The finished tea is drained out of the tank and the tank and its components are easily cleaned and sanitized.

摘要： An apparatus for cultivating tissue cells or microorganisms in suspension, in a manner which ensures formation of an axially symmetric vortex motion of liquid with an axial countercurrent flow in the cell suspension without stagnant zones at various locations. The apparatus has guide elements that stabilize the position of an annular partition with respect to the surface of the suspension, including first blades and second blades. The first blades are attached to the upper surface of the partition with the help of the first struts. The second blades are attached to the lower surface of the partition with the help of the second struts. Each of the first blades and the second blades is provided with a clamping device of “screw-nut” or collet type for varying the angle of attack with respect to the incoming flow of gas and liquid and for securing to the respective strut on the upper surface of the annular partition and at the lower surface of it.

摘要： This invention relates to a culture device of a domed shape, a conical shape, or a cylindrical shape of a closed type used for culture of microalgae, and a gas discharge device set so as to be movable in the culture device. The culture device is basically composed of a transparent inside member (a semispherical dome, a conical peripheral wall, or a cylindrical peripheral wall), a transparent outside member, and a bottom portion connecting the lower ends of the two members, a cylindrical opening portion is provided at the top part of the outside member, and a gas introducing member and a discharging member of a culture solution are provided in the bottom portion. The gas discharge device is basically composed of two opposed rectangular base plates, a bubble guide member, and a discharge nozzle. The culture solution can be agitated without mechanical agitation and the culture can be carried out in high concentrations.
