Oxygen Transfer Rate In Bioreactor. It appears that engineering problems of oxygen transfer in culture liquid in the bioreactor arise because of 1 the resistance encountered in the transfer process thereby influencing mainly the k l value and 2 the hindrance to increase interfacial transfer area a. Antifoam is added 2.
The oxygen transfer rate through an interface is calculated by using the following equation. The correct measurement andor prediction of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient kla is a crucial step in the design operation and scale up of bioreactors.
