10.2 Basic Features of Group Ivb Bioreactors
The basic design features of intermittently mixed bioreactors are
similar to those of the various continuously mixed designs but the
operating mode is different ( see in Figure 10.1).
Therefore, the most of time in fermentation in the static mode of
operation and the mixing is only intermittent. Forced aeration may or
may not be applied during the mixing period.
