ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the aerobic fermentation of microorganisms, with the apparatus including a vessel having an elongate tubular member connected thereto and forming a fermentation zone. A pump is provided to effect flow of fermentation medium from the vessel through the tubular member for fermentation therein and back to said vessel. During flow of fermentation medium through the tubular member, oxygen is introduced into same to carry out the fermentation process. A heat exchanger cooperates with the tubular member to remove heat from the fermentation medium which is produced by the fermentation process. A second vessel can be connected to the vessel for receipt of foam containing product therein to separate the foam into a liquid phase and a gas phase.
