Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a process for producing 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO). The process is carried out by fermenting a hydrocarbon in a fermentation medium in the presence of a MBO-producing microorganism to produce the MBO. The MBO is removed from the fermentation medium to maintain a concentration of MBO non-toxic to the MBO-producing microorganism by flowing a gas through or across the fermentation medium to effectively remove at least a portion of the MBO into a vapor phase region of the fermentation medium. The rate of removal is measured according to the amount of MBO maintained in the vapor phase region, which is measured according to the vapor pressure of the MBO in the vapor phase region.
