Airlift bioreactors are tower reactors for large-scale aerobic cultures where the mixing of the culture broth is done by the inserted gas via an airlift pump (Fig. 7.5). This pump injects compressed air at the bottom of the discharge pipe, which is immersed in the liquid.
Aug 2, 2023 · An airlift bioreactor is a specialized type of bioreactor used for growing various biological cultures, including bacteria, yeasts, algae, animal cells, and plant cells. It operates on a novel principle that distinguishes it from conventional bioreactors.
May 23, 2024 · Airlift bioreactors are used for aerobic bioprocessing technology so that they can provide a controlled liquid flow in a recycling system using pumps.
Jun 1, 2023 · Airlift bioreactors (ALBRs), as a type of ALRs, have been applied practically in various biochemical and environmental processes such as microalgae cultivation and protein production (Tagliaferro et al., 2019), polyhydroxybutyrate production (Manikandan et al., 2021), alkane biodegradation (Denis et al., 2017), water and wastewater treatment ...
1 Introduction. Airlift reactors (ALRs) are a unique type of bubble column reactors (BCRs) with a simple design and flexible capacity that performs dual aeration and mixing functions consisting of the riser, downcomer, gas separator, and bottom zones.
Jul 24, 2013 · In this chapter we describe one of the most promising bioreactors for their processing qualities, good mixing, low shear, easy to operate with immobilized microorganisms, low consumption of energy, we are talking about the airlift bioreactors.
The airlift bioreactor (ALR) is often used in cases for which the bubble column lacks the operational flexibility or requirements. The airlift bioreactor and bubble column have very similar bubble–bubble interactions and behavior, which leads to almost identical gas flow regimes and progression.
