Notes:
A set of experiments has been performed in an industrial 112 m3 fermentor in order to get a complete map of oxygen concentration and temperature distribution in the system. Five fermentations of non-Newtonian broths of two different strains, in various operating conditions, were examined. A simple model has been developed which takes into account both the mixing and the mass-transfer properties of the fermentor, and a dimensionless parameter has been identified which is sufficient to characterize the oxygen axial distribution in the reactor in any operating condition.
