## Abstract Bubble columns are widely used in the chemical and biochemical industries. In these reactors a gaseous phase is dispersed into a continuous liquid phase thus the rising bubble swarm induces a circulating flow field. For the dimension of these reactors the local interfacial area and the

โฆ Synopsis
Dual flow operation of plate columns has been modelled by the use of a hqmd bypass stream Both the hquld flowrate entering a plate and the hqmd cornposItIon on the plate show cychc vanations from plate to plate The overall column efficiency is significantly reduced and vanes with the number of plates The scaleup rules for dual flow columns based on column diameter have been reported in the literature while the scaleup rules based on column height as described m this paper, are more complicated than the constant plate efficiency rules that apply under the simplest case of conve&oial flow operation .
