Determination of oxygen transfer coefficient with the correction for the actual cultivation conditions.Peer-reviewed article

J. PÁCA

A method for determination of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient K_La from dynamic measurement data under conditions of both excess oxygen and oxygen limited growth of microorganisms is described. The K_La determination follows from the integrated form of the oxygen balance equation and involves a correction for the actual cultivation conditions during measurement. In addition, the method is verified by its application to cultivation data.
