Hydrodynamics of a three-phase external-loop airlift bioreactor

The effect of 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 three-phase external-loop airlift reactor was characterized. It was observed that the gas distributor h...
