Abstract
An apparatus for the fermentative conversion of a nutrient mixture by means of microorganisms in the presence of a gas containing oxygen. The nutrient mixture and gas are mixed to yield a phase state with a relative density of less than 0.3 referred to water. The process is carried out in a closed reaction vessel having inlet and outlet pipes for the nutrient mixture, its components and the product. The vessel is also provided with inlet and outlet pipes for the oxygen-bearing gas. A paddle wheel within the vessel provides the distribution device.
