Additional Homework Problems

CDP9-DC

  It is desired to scale up our current fermentation to produce 20 kg/h of a product in a continuous fermentor. A laboratory-scale fermentor is 1 dm in diameter and 2 dm high with an impeller that is 0.6 dm in diameter which rotates at 3 rpm. The oxygen flow rate to the laboratory fermentor is 2 dm3/min. The fermentation is oxygen-limited. Scale up the laboratory fermentor to full-scale operation.
