This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concise reference to designing mechanically sound agitation systems that will perform the process function efficiently and economically. Currently, all the books on bioreactor and fermenter design do not focus specifically on agitation. Sections cover agitator fundamentals, impeller systems, optimum power and air flow at peak mass transfer calculations, optimizing operation for minimum energy per batch, heat transfer surfaces and calculations, shaft seal considerations, mounting method, mechanical design, and vendor evaluation.
