A circular (close-loop) biorefinery, which integrates wastewater treatment with the generation of an energy precursor and organic fertilizer, tested at level a pilot plant treating 54,000 L per day (LPD) sewage, is described. In biorefinery’s first stage, sewage was treated in novel SHEFROL® (sheet-flow-root-level) bioreactor very rapid rate, indicated by hydraulic retention time mere 6 h, to t...

As per definition, the bioreactor is the designed space where biological reactions take place. Hence, the bioreactor is essentially an engineering achievement and its design a challenge for bioengineers. The bioreactor should create a biosphere that as profoundly and adequately as possible provides the ideal environment for the biological reaction. The path for reaching, attaining, andmaintaini...

selected genotypes of sugar beet are often maintained by conventional propagation, but much faster rates of multiplication can be now obtained through micropropagation. on the other hand, plant micropropagation using bioreactors can decrease the cost of production and makes it an economical method. in this research, the possibility of using bioreactor and optimization of the tissue culture proc...

Conventionally, some bioartificial liver devices are used with separate plasmapheresis unit to separate out plasma from whole blood and adsorbent column to detoxify plasma before it passes through a hepatocytes-laden bioreactor. We aim to develop a hybrid bioreactor that integrates the separate modules in one compact design improving the efficacy of the cryogel based bioreactor as a bioartifici...

Hybrid bioreactor having both suspended-growth and attached-growth bacteria is found a novel and excellent bioreactor system for treating the municipal wastewater containing inhibitory substrates too. In this reactor a fraction of substrate is used by suspended biomass and the remaining by attached biomass resulting in the competition between the two growths for the substrate. The combination o...

We have developed a chip-based cell culture system for the three-dimensional cultivation of cells. The chip is typically manufactured from non-biodegradable polymers, e.g., polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate by micro injection molding, micro hot embossing or micro thermo-forming. But, it can also be manufactured from bio-degradable polymers. Its overall dimensions are 0.7 1 x 20 x 20 x 0....

Much effort has been devoted to develop and advance the methodology to regenerate functional small-diameter arterial bypasses. In the physiological environment, both mechanical and chemical stimulation are required to maintain the proper development and functionality of arterial vessels. Bioreactor culture systems developed by our group are designed to support vessel regeneration within a preci...
