Oscillatory baffled reactor for enhanced 1C gas bioconversion for energy production and storage

绿色甲烷和羧酸的生产，通过使用可再生电力转化氢气，利用许多工艺产生的剩余二氧化碳，有可能整合天然气、电力和燃料基础设施，降低能源供应的碳化，有助于能源安全，并通过扩大市场潜力提供经济效益。最近已经通过微生物过程实现了H2和CO2的结合，然而，生产率受到气体溶解到液体中的速度的限制。该项目将研究使用创新的振荡折流板反应器(OBR)技术来优化输入气体的增溶，从而优化绿色气体或羧酸的生产速度，并提高生物技术过程的技术和经济可行性的可行性。

The production of green methane and carboxylic acids, by converting H2 using renewable electricitywith surplus CO2 from a number of processes, has the potential to integrate gas, electricity andrefueling infrastructures, decarbonise energy supply, contribute towards energy security, as well asproviding economic benefits through expansion of market potential. Combining H2 and CO2 hasrecently been achieved using a microbial process, however, productivity is limited by the rate at whichgases can be solubilised into the liquid phase. This project will investigate the feasibility of usinginnovative oscillatory baffled reactor (OBR) technology to optimise the solubilisation of input gases,therefore optimising the rate of green gas or carboxylic acids production and improving the technicaland economic viability of the biotech processes.
