Puiman, L. (author), Almeida Benalcazar, E.F. (author), Picioreanu, Cristian (author), Noorman, H.J. (author), Haringa, C. (author)Gradients in dissolved gas concentrations are expected to affect the performance of large reactors for anaerobic gas (CO, H2, CO2) fermentation. To study how these gradients, and the dissolved gas concentration level itself, influence the productivity of the desired product ethanol and the product spectrum of C. autoethanogenum, we coupled a CFD...journal article 2024

Puiman, L. (author), Abrahamson, Britt (author), van der Lans, R.G.J.M. (author), Haringa, C. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author), Picioreanu, C. (author)Mass transfer limitations in syngas fermentation processes are mostly attributed to poor solubility of CO and H<sub>2</sub> in water. Despite these assumed limitations, a syngas fermentation process has recently been commercialized. Using large-sale external-loop gas-lift reactors (EL-GLR), CO-rich off-gases are converted into ethanol, with...journal article 2022
