Agitator design for gas-liquid fermenters and bioreactors

"As in all kinds of process equipment, agitators must be correctly sized to deliver the process function, while maximizing return on investment and minimizing total energy cost. In a bioreactor, agitators are one of the prime drivers for promoting the development of gas/liquid interfacial area,...
