CFD in Scaling Airlift Photobioreactors by Peter S is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigated scaling up Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation from 1 L to 8 L photobioreactors for astaxanthin production using computational fluid dynamics simulation. Cultivations in photobioreactors of increasing volumes resulted in higher astaxanthin content, with the highest yield of 49.39 ± 1.64 mg/g obtained in the 8 L photobioreactor. CFD simulation of the 2 L photobioreactor showed differences in velocity profiles and gas holdup between the riser and downcomer regions, indicating mixing wa
