High pressure synthesis gas conversion. Task 1, System construction

Technical Report · Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:10146455

A high pressure gas phase fermentation system has been constructed for the biological production of ethanol from coal synthesis gas. The reactors in the system consist of a 650 mL continuous stirred tank reactor and a 1 L continuous column reactor. The reactors are designed for individual or dual operation in series or parallel, with continuous gas and liquid feed. The system is housed in a constant temperature, explosion-proof room, equipped with gas leak detectors.
