Abstract: A scale production process of purified bacterial cellulose hydrogel obtained by the polymerization of glucose from sugars of renewable sources via biotechnology by the spread of cellulose-producing bacteria, particularly gluconoacetobacter hansenii lmspe, in reactors for application in the health, pharmacotechnical and cosmetry areas, which provides for the steps of a) hydration of the purified bacterial cellulose, structured in the micro- and nano-fibrillar fractions; b) homogenization of purified bacterial cellulose structured in the micro- and nano-fibrillar fractions; c) obtaining the hydrogel with the two fractions; d) hydrogel filtration; e) obtaining two products: 1. Nanocellulose hydrogel; 2. Microcellulose hydrogel; the scale production process of two fractions of bacterial cellulose hydrogel, 1. Nanocellulose hydrogel; 2. Microcellulose hydrogel is obtained in blender units for the homogenization of the hydrated cellulose and for the separation of the hydrogels by centrifugal filtration.

Abstract: A process of scale production and purification of bacterial cellulose obtained by glucose polymerization from sugars of renewable sources via biotechnology through the propagation of Gluconoacetobacter hansenii LMPSE in reactors and obtainment of the purified cellulose for application in health, pharmacotechnical and cosmetic dermatology areas, which provides the steps of a) preparing the must; b) sterilizing the must; c) inoculating the must; d) propagating; e) brightening) and f) obtaining purified bacterial cellulose product. The process of scale production of bacterial cellulose is obtained in a sealed sterilization and propagation unit, biodigestors with the flotation surface area four times the height.
