About this document

Scaling Up Packed-Bed Bioreactors by Anelize Terezinha Jung Finkler is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a model-based strategy for scaling up traditional packed-bed bioreactors used for solid-state fermentation. The strategy is based on measuring oxygen uptake rates over time from experiments with Aspergillus niger, a fast-growing fungus. These rates are used to model the kinetics of metabolic heat production within the bioreactor. The model, which considers heat transfer in the axial direction only, is validated by comparing modeled and measured temperature profiles. The validated mod
