Bioreactors: II. One-stage reactors with mechanical agitation.Peer-reviewed article

J. PÁCA

The following types of bioreactors are described: reactor with a turbine impeller, loop reactors with a marine propeller or with combined impellers, various types of systems without gas spargers and reactors with multiple impellers. The principle, the maximum vessel volume and possible applications are discussed by each type of the reactor. With respect to the keeping of the process asepticity possible ways of the scale-up with respect to the reactor shape are mentioned.
