## Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to compare the hydrodynamics and mass transfer of an internal airlift reactor with that of a bubble column reactor, operating with an air/water system in the homogeneous bubble flow regime. The liquid circulation velocities are significantly hi
Mixing time (0) was measured in a 45 or 60 1 working liquid volume external-circulation-loop airlift (ECL-AL) fermentor, and in a geometrically similar 6 1 prototype, both equipped with perforatedplate spargers (1 mm dia. holes). Carboxymethyleellulose solutions were used to simulate the rheological
