Processes for fermentation and purification of value added products from gaseous substrates

Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a process comprising steps of fermentation, separation and purification that can be carried out in a centralized facility with large scale fermentation or in a decentralized facility with smaller scales of fermentation to make value added products from substrate not limiting to gaseous substrates effectively. The fermentation involves fermentative production of a marketable product using reactors or fermentors which are optimized for influential parameters such as gaseous substrate, gas hold up, mass transfer coefficient, etc. The separation step involves an effective way of separating desired product from fermentation broth by employing filtration, precipitation or adsorption techniques thereby enabling easy transportation of the product in case of a decentralized facility. The final stage of the process, either in centralized or decentralized facility, includes the elution of retained product and further purification of the same using downstream processing techniques.
