Conclusions
-
1.
The effect of the geometrical and technical parameters on the mixing intensity in fermenters of different capacity was examined.
-
2.
The time of complete mixing is used as a criterion of the intensity of mixing.
-
3.
An empirical equation for τmix as a function of the main parameters determining this quantity was obtained by mathematically evaluating the experimental data.
-
4.
A method of scaling based on keeping the time of complete mixing constant is suggested.
