Hydrodynamics of a three-phase external-loop airlift bioreactor

The effect the distributing plate orifice diameter, airflow rate, solids loading and solids density on the hydrodynamic characteristics – gas holdup, circulation time and liquid velocity – of a threephase external-loop airlift reactor was characterized. It was observed that the gas distributor has a...
