Chapter and Conference Paper
Use of Hydrocyclone as an Efficient Tool for Cell Retention in Perfusion Cultures
A new specially designed hydrocyclone was successfully applied as cell separation system in 6-L and 30-L continuously perfused bioreactors. Cell concentration reached up to 10 million per mL and viability rema...

Induction Kinetics of Apoptosis in Mammalian Cell Cultures
The morphological and biochemical features of cell death in three production cell lines and one human carcinoma cell line were characterised in order to investigate the kinetics of apoptosis induction, apoptot...

The Use of Hydrocyclones for Mammalian Cell Retention in Perfusion Bioreactors
A new type of hydrocyclone was designed and used in continuous mammalian cell cultivation processes. The apparatus gave cell separation efficiencies as high as 99%. Due to the fact that a 5-L-bioreactor was us...

Separation of Mammalian Cells Using a Specially Designed Rotating Disc Filter
Through continuous fresh nutrient supply and metabolite removal, combined with cell retendon in the bioreactor, perfusion cultures allow high cell concentrations and product titres to be achieved at relatively...

Chapter
A New Approach for Development of Structured Growth Models
Mathematical modelling and simulation are widely applied for getting a deeper understanding of biotechnological processes and having a closer look into reactors and microorganisms. Models were developed for si...

Gas/Liquid Mass Transfer Parameters (εG, kLa, a) for Non-Newtonian Two-Phase Flow in a Bubble Column
Gas/liquid mass transfer at non-Newtonian flow occurring, e.g., in aerobic fermentation is studied using highly viscous pseudoplastic solutions of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a model medium. Aeratio...

Chapter
Influence of Nonuniform Catalyst Distribution on the Performance of the Bubble Column Slurry Reactor
With regard to an effective use of catalyst it is necessary to realize a uniform distribution over the entire reactor. There are a number of experimental studies reported in the literature (1–5) which show tha...

Physical Transport Phenomena in Biological Tower Reactors
It is well known that the performance of biological processes may be influenced significantly by physical transport phenomena. In general, physical transport processes concern the transfer of mass, momentum an...

Chapter
Some Aspectcs of Gas Absorption Mechanism in Slurry Reactors
Slurry reactors are popular in industry where the solids either take part in the reaction or act as catalyst.Many aspects of these reactors, particularly for catalytic systems, have been discussed at length in...
