What Is Airlift Bioreactor. Airlift fermentors are highly energy-efficient and are often used in large-scale manufacture of biopharmaceutical proteins obtained from fragile animal cells. Airlift bioreactors are used for cell culturing pallet form fermentation and immobilized enzyme reactions. Airlift bioreactors are tower reactors for large-scale aerobic cultures where the mixing of the culture broth is done by the inserted gas via an airlift pump Fig. Our bioreactor system uses gas bubbles to move cells and nutrients.
Holdup liquid velocity and. The bubble column and airlift bioreactors are pneumatically agitated and often employed in bioprocesses where gas-liquid contact is important. Airlift reactors ALRs are pneumatically agitated bioreactors where the injection of a gas stream into a specific reactor compartment the riser causes the reaction broth to circulate between the riser and an interconnected downcomer compartment containing a smaller or negligible gas phase. Airlift bioreactors are tower reactors for large-scale aerobic cultures where the mixing of the culture broth is done by the inserted gas via an airlift pump Fig. Gas stream facilitate exchange of material between the gas. Airlift bioreactors are used for cell culturing pallet form fermentation and immobilized enzyme reactions.
Inside every sterile CellMaker Bioreactor is a sparge tube which is used to distribute gases such as air oxygen nitrogen or carbon dioxide through the bioreactor contents.
This specific design provides energy-efficient mass transfer for substrate delivery and product. The bubble column and airlift bioreactors are pneumatically agitated and often employed in bioprocesses where gas-liquid contact is important. A riser a gas-liquid separator and a down tube. The region of an airlift bioreactor in which the liquid travels in a downward direction is called the A. The Air lift Bio-Reactor ALBR is an improved bubble column reactor characterized by three parts. Typically airlift bioreactors are used when the desired reactants andor final products are in a gaseous state and for aerobic cell cultures.
