Xanthan Gum Production with Pumping Static-Mixing Loop Fermenter (PS-Loop Fermenter)
Pumping Static-mixing Loop Fermentor(PS-Loop Fermentor) designed to enhance oxygen transfer into highly viscous solution is suitable for xanthan fermentation. Equations relating circulation period and aeration with Kla and equations about the optimal operation were obtained. Xanthan gum production was enhanced by this fermentor.
