Bioreaction engineering is fundamental to the optimization of biotechnological processes and the production of biochemicals by enzymes, microbial, plant and animal cells and higher organisms.A reference text for postgraduate students and researchers in biochemical engineering and bioreactor design, Multiphase Bioreactor Design describes the fundamentals of bioreactors and their increasingly complex varieties. It highlights new methodologies for the analysis of multiphase bioreactors, namely hydrodynamics, image analysis and modeling. Specific chapters also provide information on the interactions between kinetic and transport phenomena, biocatalyst stability and cell physiology in non-conventional media such as organic solvents and pressurized gas phases.

Specific chapters also provide information on the interactions between kinetic and transport phenomena, biocatalyst stability and cell physiology in non-conventional media such as organic solvents and pressurized gas phases The advantageous features of multistage bubble column reactors for aerated slurry systems have been illustrated by the results of an extensive experimental study aimed at examining the effect of selected construction and operating variables (number of reactor stages, distributing plate geometry, gas and liquid flow rates, solid phase concentration) on hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of multistage aerated slurry reactors. Highlighting new methodologies for the analysis of multiphase bioreactors Multiphase Bioreactor Design is an essential text for postgraduate students and researchers in biochemical engineering and bioreactor design.
