Abstract:

The mixing and mass transfer have been investigated in industrial bioreactors of capacity10, 30, 50 and 150 m^ used for citric acid fermentation. Hydrodynamic parameters were examined on water using mineral acid as a trace. Volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) wasdetermined by balance method. It was found that the examined bioreactors have similarhydrodynamic parameters despite their different capacities. The differences were found in maximum values of kj^a (from 150 to 200 h~^) which coresponded to the citric acid yield and productivity.
