Sparger and Surface Gas Transfer for Cell Culture Bioreactors
نویسنده
چکیده
The impact of bioreactor and sparger scale-up on gas transfer properties was investigated using four geometrically similar bioreactors ranging in size from 15-L to 2500-L total volume with the same sintered metal frit (microporous) sparger design. The mass transfer coefficients for both oxygen and carbon dioxide were measured at each scale at various flow rates. Scale did not directly affect gas transfer properties. Of the four bioreactors investigated, only the 200-L bioreactor had significantly different (higher) values for the oxygen and carbon dioxide sparger mass transfer coefficients.

Biological hydrogen production by anaerobic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum was studied in batch and continuous bioreactors using synthesis gas (CO) as substrate. The systems were operated at ambient temperature and pressure. Correlations available in the literature were used to estimate the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients (KLa) in batch reactor. Based on experimental results for the con...

Control of carbon dioxide within the optimum range is important in mammalian bioprocesses at the manufacturing scale in order to ensure robust cell growth, high protein yields, and consistent quality attributes. The majority of bioprocess development work is done in laboratory bioreactors, in which carbon dioxide levels are more easily controlled. Some challenges in carbon dioxide control can p...
متن کاملA Bioreactor System Based on a Novel Oxygen Transfer Method
JUNE 2008 B ioreactor technologies for mammalian cell culture may seem quite sophisticated (1). In fact, efficient mammalian cell culture is simple and requires just two major elements: mixing and oxygen (O2) transfer. Traditional methods for mixing use an impellor, and the classical O2 transfer method features a sparging stone that expels air bubbles to increase the O2 transfer surface area in...
