Structure, working principle and functional characteristics of the enzyme hydrolysis tank

2. Structural composition

The enzymatic hydrolysis tank is usually composed of the following main parts:

Vessel: The vessel provides an enclosed space for the reaction and is typically made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or fiberglass.

Agitation system: Includes the agitator and driving motor, which are used to ensure thorough mixing of reactants and improve reaction efficiency.

Heating/cooling system Temperature inside the vessel is regulated through jacket or internal coil to ensure optimal activity conditions for enzymes.

Control system: Monitors and regulates parameters such as temperature, pressure, value inside the vessel to maintain optimal reaction conditions.

Feed inlet and discharge outlet: Used for adding raw materials and collecting products.

Aeration system: Provides oxygen inert gas as required to maintain the atmosphere inside the vessel.

Cleaning system: Facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of the interior of the vessel to ensure a operating environment.

3. Working principle

The working principle of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank is based on the characteristics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes, as efficient catalysts, can accelerate the progress of chemical reactions under specific conditions. During the enzymatic hydrolysis process, raw materials are fed into the tank body, and the corresponding are added, fully mixing through the stirring system. Subsequently, the temperature is adjusted to the optimal activity temperature for the enzyme through the heating/cooling system, and necessary gas are provided through the aeration system. During this period, the control system continuously monitors the conditions inside the tank, ensuring that all parameters are maintained at the optimal level to promote occurrence of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
