Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reactor for carrying out chemical or biological processes, comprising a tank and at least one stirrer.
  • the invention further relates to a process for cultivating cells or multicellular microorganisms using the reactor and a process for producing the stirrer.
  • Reactors comprising a tank and at least one stirrer also are called “stirred tank reactors”. Such reactors are widely used in chemical or biological processes.
  • Stirrers used in stirred tank reactors are categorized by the flow direction in which the fluid is mixed. These are axial flow, radial flow, mixed flow, and distributed flow.
  • pitch-blade or marine impellers which generate an axial flow
  • Stirrers producing a radial flow like Rushton impellers are used for example in microbial fermentation processes.
  • a distributed flow for example is generated by using helical type impellers, which provide equally distributed shear plane as well as preventing temperature and nutrient gradients in all directions.
  • Such impellers are used for example for solid substrates or in highly viscous liquids.
  • spin filters are used. These comprise a screened cage surrounding an impeller shaft.
  • the screened cage comprises filter pore openings to keep cells isolated outside the cage.
  • a dip tube is provided for continuous withdrawal of culture broth.
  • a media feed tube outside the cage provides a steady supply of fresh nutrients.
  • toroidal propellers are known. Such a propeller is described for example in US-B 10,836,466 .
  • a reactor for carrying out chemical or biological processes comprising a tank and at least one stirrer, wherein each stirrer comprises at least two propeller blades which form a propeller, each propeller blade being looped, wherein a tip of a leading propeller blade is curved back into its trailing propeller blade, into the hub or into the backside of the same propeller blade.
  • the curved propeller blades may have any suitable cross sectional shape.
  • the propeller blades have a cross sectional shape like a rotor blade of a helicopter or an airplane wing or a hydrofoil cross sectional shape and particularly preferably the propeller blades have a hydrofoil cross sectional shape.
  • the blade can be morphing.
  • the curved propeller blades may be arranged on the shaft at any angle between 0 and 90°.
  • the propeller blades have an angle in a range between 20 and 80° and particularly in a range between 30 and 60°.
  • Each curved propeller blade forms a curved frame surrounding an opening.
  • the curved frames also may be arranged on the shaft at any angle in a range from 0 to 90° to the shaft.
  • the curved frame may have an angle in a range from 0 to 45°.
  • an angle of 0° corresponds to an orientation perpendicular to the main axis of the shaft for both, the propeller blade and the curved frame.
  • angles of the curved propeller blade and the curved frame depend on the flow direction to be achieved and on the cross sectional shape of the propeller blade.
  • the propeller blades may be twisted.
  • the twisted angle of the propeller blade may be in a range from 0 to 90°, more preferred in a range from 5 to 45° and particularly in a range from 10 to 30°.
  • the twisted angle of the propeller blade curve for example may be 15°.
  • the selected twisted angle thereby depends on the cross-sectional shape of the blade. The angles can be adjusted by the morphing hydrofoil system.
  • the twisted angle describes the angle between the end of the propeller blade fixed to the shaft and the tip of the propeller blade, which is curved back into its trailing propeller blade, into the hub or into the backside of the same propeller blade.
  • At least two propellers For improving the mixing efficiency, it may be advantageous to use at least two propellers.
  • An improved mixing efficiency for example will be required for viscous liquids and/or in large tanks.
  • stirrers may be particularly advantageous in large tanks.
  • the stirrers may be arranged such that the propellers are uniformly distributed in the tank.
  • it also may be advantageous for improving the mixing efficiency to arrange the propellers unevenly distributed in the tank to avoid steadily circulating flows which do not mix.
  • At least two propellers are provided, it is possible to arrange the propellers in such a way that all propellers generate co-directed flows. As an alternative, it is further possible that at least one propeller generates a flow which is counter-directed to the flow of at least one further propeller. Depending on the media to be mixed, the additional shear stresses within the liquid in the tank induced by the counter-directed flow may have a negative effect on cells in microbiological processes. On the other hand, the turbulence induced by the counter-directed flows usually result in an improved mixing of the contents in the tank.
  • a further possibility to influence the flow of the liquid induced by the at least one stirrer may be to modify the surface of the propeller blades.
  • the surface may be smooth or, preferably, may comprise a textured surface.
  • the surface texture has an influence on the turbulence and formation of micro-vortexes induced by the rotation of the propeller. For this reason, on the one hand, it is possible to reduce turbulence or the formation of micro-vortexes by the texture of the surface, on the other hand, it is also possible to increase turbulence or formation of micro-vortexes or vortexes by the surface texture. Whether the turbulence or formation of vortexes shall be reduced or increased depends on the fluid in the tank to be mixed.
  • Such a surface texture may be provided on the whole surface of at least one propeller blade, preferably on all propeller blades, or, alternatively only on a part of the surface of at least one propeller blade, preferably of all propeller blades. It is further possible to provide a surface texture on the whole surface of at least one propeller blade of one propeller and on a part of the surface of at least one different propeller blade of the same propeller.
  • Suitable surface textures for example comprise dimples or grooves.
  • the surface texture comprises dimples and grooves. If the surface texture comprises dimples, it is possible to arrange the dimples evenly or unevenly distributed on the surface.
  • the dimples may have any suitable shape, for example a circular or oval shape or a polygonal shape with at least three edges. Further, the dimples may have any cross sectional shape, with a triangular shape or a shape of a segment of a circle being preferred.
  • the dimples for example may be in the form of a cone or a truncated cone or in the form of a spherical segment.
  • the grooves may be straight or in any shape, for example zig-zag, undulated, or in an arbitrary pattern. If the grooves have a zig-zag, undulating or an arbitrary pattern, it is possible to provide only one groove on one propeller blade. If the grooves are straight, it is preferred to provide a plurality of grooves which may be arranged in any pattern, for example parallel or with an increasing or decreasing distance. Further, independently of providing parallel running grooves or grooves with an increasing or decreasing distance, it is further possible that grooves intersect at any angle, for example forming a diamond pattern or a checked pattern, if the grooves run in parallel. If the grooves do not run parallel, any arbitrary pattern may be provided.
  • the surface texture may be in the shape of a sharkskin texture.
  • the propeller blades may comprise protrusions on the front edge.
  • the protrusions may comprise a conical, triangular, or rectilinear shape, or may comprise a convex undulation.
  • the protrusions correspond to humpback whale fin bumps.
  • the surface texture forms a structure at the trailing edge of the propeller blades.
  • Such structures are known for example from propeller blades of wind power plants. These structures, according to their angle and geometry are capable of generating different lift and drag velocities.
  • the propeller may be made of any suitable material, particularly any suitable material which can be processed in a 3D-printing process, for example a thermoplastic polymer or a metal.
  • suitable polymers for example are polycarbonate, or polylactide and suitable metals for example are steel, aluminum, or stainless steel.
  • the propeller is made of a metal and particularly preferably of stainless steel. The material used for producing the propeller thereby depends on the intended use of the reactor in which the stirrer is used. Particularly if used in food processing, the propeller is made of stainless steel.
  • Suitable 3D-printing processes particularly are such, in which a powdery material is sintered by energy input, thereby forming the propeller.
  • the propeller preferably is made of a metal
  • the 3D-printing process preferably is such a process which allows for forming a three-dimensional object from the metal.
  • the 3D-printing process used for forming the propeller is a laser powder bed fusion technology.
  • non-sintered powder may be removed for example by blowing it out with a pressurized gas, particularly pressurized air.
  • the propeller also may be produced for example by a casting process, by injection molding, by electrical discharge machining, or CNC machining.
  • the propeller may be made from glass, ceramic or a polymer. If a weldable material is used, for example a metal or a thermoplastic polymer, the propeller also may be produced by a welding process. However, any other manufacturing process which allows production of the propeller also may be used.
  • the propeller produced by the 3D-printing process usually has not a smooth surface, it is preferred to treat the surface before using the propeller, for example by polishing to achieve a smooth surface or by applying a coating.
  • a non-stick coating for example may be a coating that prevents cell adhesion to the propeller.
  • any coating may be used which does not affect the processes to be carried out in the reactor.
  • the tank of the reactor and the further parts of the reactor preferably are made of a plastics material or a metal, too. Suitable materials are the same as described above for the propeller. Particularly preferably, all parts of the reactor which may come into contact with the contents in the tank are made of stainless steel.
  • the tank and the further parts of the reactor may be produced by any production mode known to the skilled person. Suitable production methods for example are 3D-printing processes, casting processes, welding or injection molding.
  • the reactor comprises a gastight closable lid.
  • gastight closable lid it can be avoided that material can leave the reactor unintendedly at the top opening and, further, it also can be prohibited that the contents in the reactor may unintendedly come into contact with the outer atmosphere, particularly with air, or, if the tank reactor is used in a different atmosphere, with this atmosphere.
  • the lid must fit to the tank, it is preferred, to also produce the lid by a process corresponding to the manufacture process of the reactor. It further is preferred to produce the lid from the same material as the tank. In this case, it is particularly preferred to produce the tank and the lid in the same process.
  • the at least one stirrer may be guided through the lid or through walls of the tank.

  • Suitable sensors which may be used, for example are temperature sensors, pressure sensors, pH-sensors, oxygen sensors, optical sensors or sensors for media components (e.g. amino acids, carbohydrates, metabolites, etc.).
  • Suitable sensors may be analog sensors or digital sensors, which can measure biochemical factors and/or waste products of a biochemical process carried out in the reactor and which may operate continuously or discrete. Using such sensors has the additional advantage that taking spot samples will be unnecessary and reduce delayed nutrient regulation, although manual sampling is still possible if required.

  • the tank usually is treated by autoclave. This either may be carried out by putting the tank and the lid into an autoclave or, alternatively, to close the lid and treat the interior of the tank with high pressure vapor.
  • autoclave As the tank and the lid can be easily treated by autoclave, either by placing the tank and the lid into an autoclave or alternatively by feeding high pressure water vapor into the tank, the vapor thus having a temperature above any temperature cells or microorganisms may survive, the tank allows for less environmentally hazardous and costly decontamination methods.
