Mixing times and gas hold-ups in a 250L bioreactor containing a phosphate buffer or an active fermentation were determined on-line using fluorometric (MEFS and NADH) probes as functions of agitation and aeration rates. Both mixing time and hold-up of a fermentaion can be determined using a MEFS prob

โฆ Synopsis
A simple apparatus to measure local gas hold-up in stirred fermenters and its detailed operation are described. The device operates on the principle of separation of phases. To undertake the characterization of the local gas ccntent in a commercial stirred fermenter, a preliminary study of the three main variables affecting hold-up is reported.
