Agitation and Aeration
Pure oxygen, if used instead of air will increase oxygen transfer rates because
the saturation concentration of oxygen is higher
the bubble size is smaller
the oxygen transfer coefficient is larger
the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas phase is lower
Correct Answer:
the saturation concentration of oxygen is higher

A cylindrical reactor fitted with Rushton Turbine has a liquid volume of 100,000 litres. It has an aspect ratio (the ratio of the channel height to the width) of 2:1. The diameter of the impeller should be approximately:
Which of the following is correct for the off-centre impellers?
Flooding is a condition/phenomenon which occur in a bioreactor when
For aerated mixing vessels in an aqueous solution, the mass transfer coefficient (kL) co-relating power consumption (Pm) and fermenter volume (V) can be expressed as
During fermentation, the saturation concentration of oxygen was reduced from 7 ppm. to 1 ppm. Which one of the following conclusions can be drawn?
A fermentation system has a KLa of 3 s-1 and a C0* of 5 ppm of O2. If the bulk liquid is completely depleted of oxygen, then the oxygen transfer rate will be equal to
Impeller damage can be minimized by
In aerobic microorganisms cultures radial flow impellers are used because
A fermentation system has a KLa of 3 s-1 and a C0* of 5 ppm of O2. If the bulk liquid is saturated with oxygen then the oxygen transfer rate will be equal to
If the stirrer speed is too slow, bubbles will accumulate and coalescese under the impeller. This phenomenon is known as a
