A rapid and internally consistent technique has been developed to measure the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, k ~a , i n fermentation systems. The method consists of tracing the dissolved 0 2 concentration of the fermentation broth during a short interruption of the aeration. The O2 concentr

## Abstract The determination of the overall volumetric massβtransfer coefficient with the dynamic measurement technique involves modeling, parameter estimation, and experimental design. The combination and extension of previous efforts lead to some suggestions for improvements.
## Abstract BACKGROUND: A reliable procedure for the determination of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (__K__~__L__~__a__) in hydrocarbonβaqueous dispersions is critical to the assessment of oxygen transfer in hydrocarbonβbased bioprocesses. The pressure step procedure (PSP) and gassing o
The volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, KLa, is one of the most important parameters in the scaleup of aerobic fermentation processes. It is a measure of the gas-liquidoxygen transfer performance of a given fermentor. Because of the involvement of oxygen in the metabolic energy supply, the KLa v
