the mixing behavior of the gas-liquid phase in three loop bioreactors was investigated. a gas-induced external airlift loop bioreactor (ealb), a forced-liquid vertical tubular loop bioreactor (vtlb) and a forced-liquid horizontal tubular loop bioreactor (htlb) were used for mixing studies as well as biomass production from natural gas. the effect of design parameters, riser to downcomer cross s...

The performance of a forced-liquid Vertical Tubular Loop Bioreactor (VTLB), a forced-liquid Horizontal Tubular Loop Bioreactor (HTLB) and a gas-induced External Airlift Loop Bioreactor (EALB) were compared for production of biomass from natural gas. Hydrodynamic characteristics and mass transfer coefficients were determined as functions of design parameters, physical properties of gases as ...
