Hydrodynamic considerations on optimal design of a three-phase airlift bioreactor with high solids loading

The hydrodynamic study of a three-phase airlift (TPAL) bioreactor with an enlarged gas–liquid dual separator was carried out. Different lengths and diameters of the draft tube were tested to show how the design of the separator zone affects the hydrodynamic performance of the TPAL reactor. Ca-algina...
