Effect of agitation on oxygen transfer in yeast production.Peer-reviewed article

M. GRODOVSKÝ, M. ČUNDERLÍKOVÁ, P. HANULA, A. PEŠTUKOVÁ

The article presents the results of experiments aimed at improving the technology of yeast production by introducing agitation synchronized with aeration. The authors have measured the oxygen consumption in the course of fermentation and studied the influence of water temperature, height of liquid column undergoing aeration, number of agitator revolutions etc. Their conclusions indicate, that by synchronous agitation and aeration very substantial savings can be achieved, as the amount of air can be reduced by as much as 50 %. Further savings result from reduced consumption of defoaming substances and other chemicals.
