Explore the basic principles and concepts of the design of agitation systems for fermenters and bioreactors

Agitator Design for Gas-Liquid Fermenters and Bioreactors delivers a ­concise treatment and explanation of how to design mechanically sound agitation systems that will perform the agitation process function efficiently and economically. The book covers agitator fundamentals, impeller systems, optimum power and air flow at peak mass transfer calculations, optimizing operation for minimum energy per batch, heat transfer surfaces and calculations, shaft seal considerations, mounting methods, mechanical design, and vendor evaluation.

The accomplished author has created a practical and hands-on tool that discusses the subject of agitation systems from first principles all the way to implementation in the real world. Step-by-step processes are included throughout the book to assist engineers, chemists, and other scientists in the design, construction, installation, and maintenance of these systems.

Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

• A thorough introduction to the design of gas-liquid fermenters and bioreactors
• An exploration of agitator fundamentals, impeller systems, optimum power, and air flow at peak mass transfer calculations
• A discussion of how to optimize operation for minimum energy per batch
• Step-by-step processes to assist engineers, chemists, and scientists
• An examination of heat transfer surfaces and calculations, shaft seal considerations, mounting methods, and mechanical design

Perfect for chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, chemists, and materials scientists, Agitator Design for Gas-Liquid Fermenters and Bioreactors will also earn a place in the libraries of pharmaceutical scientists seeking a one-stop resource for designing mechanically sound agitation systems.
