The influence of solids concentration and static mixers on the hydrodynamics of the gas phase was studied for a three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor (air, nutrient solution, biocatalyst Ca alginate beads). Axial gas hold-up profiles, radial gas velocity profiles, mean bubble diameter and gas/liquid interfacial area per unit volume were measured in a bubble column (DR = 0.142 m, HR = 1.748 m). The influence of solids concentration on the gas hold-up is insignificant; static mixers enhance the gas hold-up in the reactor volume element in which they are installed. Axial gas velocity decreases with increasing solids concentration. At high solids concentrations, static mixers exert little influence on the gas phase but, at low concentrations, they do. A model is suggested to describe the influence of solids concentration (characterized by turbulent viscosity vt) and static mixers (characterized by profile parameter n) on the gas velocity profile.
