En este artículo se resume el estudio realizado en el Instituto Colombiano del Petróleo (ICP), para escalar desde el laboratorio hasta la planta piloto, un proceso para la producción de biosurfactante tipo ramnolípido. Mediante el examen de las condiciones de activación del microorganismo y del diseño del medio de cultivo se establecieron condiciones que en forma sistemática disparan el mecanismo productor del microorganismo y permiten incrementar la productividad del biosurfactante. Se demostró la alta eficiencia de este aditivo biológico en aplicaciones, tales como biodegradación de hidrocarburos en medios salinos, control de la corrosión y recuperación de crudo a partir de lodos de fondos de tanques de almacenamiento.
This paper summarizes the scale up work performed at the Colombian Petroleum Institute on a process to produce at pilot plant level a biosurfactant of the rhamnolipid type. By examination of both the activation conditions of the microorganism and design aspects of the broth, a stable condition was achieved which consistently triggers the production mechanisms and thus it was obtained a significant increment in biosurfactant productivity. The biological surfactant exhibited high efficiency in applications such as hydrocarbon biodegradation in saline environments, corrosion inhibition, and crude oil recovery from storage tank bottom sludges.
