Multi-stage biofilm reactor for acetic acid production at high concentration

SummaryContinuous production of acetic acid by liquid surface culture ofAcetobacter aceti M7 was investigated using a Multi-Stage Biofilm Reactor (MSBFR) composed of ten shallow flow horizontal reactors of laboratory scale. With varying dilution rate in the range from 0.049 to 0.2 h−1, the maximum exit acetic acid concentration reached was as high as 98.0 g/l at the lowest dilution rate with step feed of ethanol-rich medium to stages 3, 5, and 7. The production rate (4.3 g/l/h) was rather high considering the inhibitory effect of high acetic acid concentration. This may be ascribed to non-homogeneous distribution of acetic acid concentration in the bioreactor and step feed of ethanol-rich medium.
