Abstract: 

The paper presents a plant for growing microorganisms with a device having a spring vibration-mixing device that provides effective uniform stirring in the entire working volume of the liquid medium. The attention is paid to the sealing of the mixer rod, which is necessary during the foaming processes, and the design of a new seal of the rods of vibration-mixing devices is proposed. Sealing is carried out by using bellows with low rigidity, in which, due to the incompressibility of the liquid inside the bellows and the apparatus, the shape of the corrugations is preserved, which effectively seals the apparatus even with relatively large movements of the rod. The use of that seal makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption for mixing. The tests carried out on a model plant with a vibration mixer for growing microorganisms with a maximum rod displacement of 20 mm showed good performance of the mixing device and the plant as a whole. In addition, the proposed seal can be used in plants and apparatus to implement technological processes associated with the use of toxic and highly aggressive media, the components of which affect not only the material used in the walls of the equipment, but also have an impact on the environment. This is especially evident in processes where foaming is possible. The impact of harmful substances on the environment is determined to a large extent by the sealing of equipment used for such processes. Leakage of the working components involved in the process is complicated by the fact that, in most cases, not only toxic or aggressive components are used in the devices, but also excessive pressure is applied. In this regard, special attention is paid to the sealing units in this sort of devices.
