Notes:
In the present work methods and results of investigations on optimal construction of fermentor elements by multifactor planning at a random number of levels of any factor are presented. The optimal design of column fermentor of 0.02-100 m3 volume with sieve plates containing downcomers and with power introduced by aerating gas has been worked out. Several alternative designs have been compared by examining mass transfer rates, power requirements, and other operating characteristics. Several fermentor designs with the power introduced by aerating gas are discussed with respect to their performance for cultivating various microorganisms (yeast and bacteria).
