Axial dispersion in the riser, downcomer and gas-disengagement section of an airlift-loop reactor (ALR) with an external loop was estimated and expressed by the Bodenstein number (Bo). In contrast to existing methods, the newly developed procedure yields reliable results for the individual sections.
## Abstract An external loop airlift bioreactor with a small amount (99% porosity) of stainless steel mesh packing inserted in the riser section was used for bioremediation of a phenolβpolluted air stream. The packing enhanced volatile organic chemical and oxygen mass transfer rates and provided a
