An integrated two-phase anaerobic dry fermentation reactor based on a biomimetic principle of rumen includes a reactor body; wherein the reactor body includes a dry fermentation chamber, a secondary fermentation chamber, and a liquid storage chamber. The dry fermentation chamber is arranged at an upper portion of the reactor body. The liquid storage chamber is arranged at a bottom of the reactor body. The secondary fermentation chamber is arranged between the dry fermentation chamber and the liquid storage chamber in the reactor body. The dry fermentation chamber is connected to the secondary fermentation chamber by a porous structure.

An anaerobic digestion device based on self-sustained air flotation includes an anaerobic digestion tank unit, a self-sustained air flotation screening unit and a biogas measurement and collection unit. The self-sustained air flotation screening unit includes an air flotation screening part, a material sedimentation part, a reflux part and a three-phase separation part connected sequentially from bottom to top. A digested material in the anaerobic digestion tank unit is pumped into the air flotation screening part, overflows into the material sedimentation part, and then is raised to the reflux part. Gas passing through the three-phase separation part and gas produced in the anaerobic digestion tank unit enter the biogas measurement and collection unit to be measured and collected.

The present invention relates to a carcass treatment system 1. Such a carcass treatment system 1 ferments and decomposes carcasses by hyperthermophile of 85 to 110° C. and aerobic conditions, and comprises a mobile fermentation process unit 3 for transferring to an onset site of disease and treating the livestock carcass by hyperthermophile; or a burial fermentation process unit 5 for excavating a burial site 6 near the outbreak site of disease and treating the livestock carcass by hyperthermophile; a base treatment unit 7 for secondarily processing the livestock carcass treated primarily by the mobile fermentation process unit 3 or the burial fermentation process unit 5 with hyperthermophile, wherein the primary treatment is performed by treating with hyperthermophile at fermentation temperature of 85 to 110° C. for 8-15 days to decompose flesh of the carcass, and the secondary treatment is performed by treating with hyperthermophile for 2-4 weeks.

A methane generating device includes: a culture tank in which methane generating bacteria are cultured with a culture liquid; a gas feed device that feeds carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas required by the methane generating bacteria to the culture tank; and a generated gas extraction device that extracts methane generated by the methane generating bacteria.

The present invention relates to a Disposable Bioprocess System consisting of a Single-Use-Bioreactor, a Single-Use-Pump and a single-use micro-organism retention filter. Combined most suitable for cultivation of suspended micro-organisms in a liquid media at high micro-organism concentration in a perfusion mode continuous process for expression of biological material. The inlet port of the liquid Single-Use-Pump connects via a valve to the broth reservoir of the Single-Use-Bioreactor through a liquid conveying port. The outlet port of the liquid pumping Single-Use-Pump connects via a valve to a micro-organism retention filter. And a method for operating said sterile Disposable Bioprocess System in perfusion mode for continuously processing.

A variable diameter bioreactor vessel is provided that includes a first vessel section having a first diameter configured to hold a liquid media and biologic material, and a second vessel section having a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter such that the liquid media can be increased from a first volume to a second volume within the vessel.

An improvement is described for the processing of biological material in a continuous stream by the application of radiant energy taken from the wavelengths from infrared to ultraviolet, and its absorption by a feedstock in a workspace of featuring controlled turbulence created by one or more counter-rotating disk impellers. The absorbed energy and the controlled turbulence patterns create a continuous process of productive change in a feed into the reactor, with separated light and heavy product output streams flowing both inward and outward from the axis in radial counterflow. The basic mechanism of processing can be applied to a wide range of feedstocks, from the promotion of the growth of algae to make biofuel or other forms of aquaculture, to a use in the controlled combustion of organic material to make biochar.

The present invention relates to a process for the fermentation of fungal strains which secrete glucans with a β-1,3-glycosidically linked main chain and side chains β-1,6-glycosidically bonded thereto, in a cascade of tanks using high-shear mixers.

The invention is related to a device for suspending particles in a fluid, wherein the mixing device includes a first magnet (1) rotating around a longitudinal axis (2), a mixing rod (4) attached to a mount (6), the mount including a second magnet (3), wherein the mount (6) moves in a substantially orthogonal motion to the longitudinal axis of the mixing rod (4) by the interaction of the rotating first magnet with the second magnet (3).

The present disclosure features methods and compositions for increasing the amount of products of cellular metabolism, e.g., proteins, by lowering the temperature of cells expressing the product at one or more steps while culturing the cells, expressing the product, and/or recovering the product.
