Fixed Bed Reactors for the Cultivation of Mammalian Cells: Design, Performance and Scale-Up

Fixed-bed reactors have gained growing attention for the cultivation of mammalian cells. They allow for a low shear stress cultivation of adherent and non-adherent cells due to the immobilization of cells within macroporous carriers. Their potential has been demonstrated for many cell culture purposes. Some of the recent developments are presented in this review, including improved antibody pro...

Computer aided design of pellets for fixed-bed reactors performing Michaelis-Menten reactions

The problem of designing the pellet characteristics for existing fixed-bed reactors has been studied. The reactor is assumed to be a unidimensional, plug-flow, heterogeneous type. Three particle shapes, two intraparticle mass transfer mechanisms, two kinds of film resistance to mass transfer and two poisoning patterns have been considered. An economic balance to both product market price and pe...

Design of an automated fixed bed reactor used for a catalytic wet oxidation process

Treatment of polluted industrial wastes is one of the challenging research topics that occupy an important position in various chemical processes. Wet Air Oxidation (WAO) is one of the emerging processes suited for the treatment of special aqueous wastes. The system consists of an oxidation in the liquid phase of the organic matter by molecular oxygen at high temperature (200-325°C) and high pr...
