An Introduction to Bioreactor Hydrodynamics and Gas-Liquid Mass Transfer - E. Kadic, T.J. Heindel (Wiley, 2014).pdf

Reviews and compares the major types of bioreactors, defines their pros and cons, and identifies research needs and figures of merit that have yet to be addressed

Describes common modes of operation in bioreactors
Covers the three common bioreactor types, including stirred-tank bioreactors, bubble column bioreactors, and airlift bioreactors
Details less common bioreactors types, including fixed bed bioreactors and novel bioreactor designs
Discusses advantages and disadvantages of each bioreactor and provides a procedure for optimal bioreactor selection based on current process needs
Reviews the problems of bioreactor selection globally while considering all bioreactor options rather than concentrating on one specific bioreactor type
