据报道,开发了一个相互连接的连续生物反应器回路,旨在为太空提供生命支持。完整的循环概念由四个生物反应器和一个更高的植物隔间组成。为了实现生物反应器的连续和可控运行,达到中试规模水平,首先是单个反应器,其次是连接反应器运行。更具体地描述了两个更先进的生物反应器在微生态生命维持系统替代(MELISSA)循环中获得的结果。这些反应器包括一个填充床反应器,用于亚硝化单胞菌和硝化杆菌细胞的固定化共培养,以及一个用于培养蓝藻螺旋藻的外部循环气举光生物反应器。已经实现了长时间运行的单独运行并对其进行了描述,并报道了中试规模的相互连接运行。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有
The development of a loop of interconnected continuous bioreactors, aimed to provide life support in space, is reported. The complete loop concept consists of four bioreactors and one higher plant compartment. For its realization the continuous and controlled operation of the bioreactors is characterized, up to the pilot scale level, first for each individual reactor, second for the interconnected reactor operation. The results obtained with the two more advanced bioreactors in the Micro Ecological Life Support System Alternative (MELISSA) loop are described more specifically. These reactors consist of a packed-bed reactor working with an immobilized co-culture of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter cells, and an external loop gas-lift photobioreactor for the culture of the cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis. Their individual operation for long duration runs has been achieved and characterized, and their interconnected operation at pilot scale is reported. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
