Which link is the air compressor used in the production of oxytetracycline
In the production process of oxytetracycline, air compressors are mainly used in fermentation and cultivation. The specific functions are as follows:
-
oxygen supply: During the microbial fermentation stage, the strain requires a large amount of oxygen for metabolic activities. The air compressor compresses ordinary air, processes it into sterile clean air through a special filtration system, and continues to input it into the fermentation tank to provide necessary oxygen for microbial growth.
-
environmental control: By adjusting the flow and pressure of compressed air, the temperature, humidity and dissolved oxygen in the fermentation tank can be controlled to maintain optimal microbial growth conditions and ensure stable fermentation process.
-
material mixing: The air flow generated by compressed air can also help the fermentation liquor mix evenly, allowing the bacteria to fully contact with nutrients, and improving reaction efficiency.
In addition, in the subsequent extraction and purification process, air compressors may also be used to promote liquid material transportation or assist the drying process, but the core application still focuses on gas supply and process control during the fermentation and cultivation stage.
