Summary of Bioreactor Design and Operation • Modified batch and continuous reactors - Chemostat with cell recycle Keep high cell mass concentration in the reactor. Production of biomass and low-value product - Fed-batch Maintain low substrate concentration Secondary metabolites, prevent catabolite repression - Multi-stage chemostat reactor Separate cell growth and product formation Secondary metabolites, genetically modified cell culture

Summary of Bioreactor Design and Operation • Immobilized cell system Advantages and disadvantages • Operation consideration agitation and aeration, determination of volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa, heat removal, foam, etc.
Summary of Bioreactor Design and Operation • Scale up/down: geometric and dynamic similarity: In scale-up/down of a stirred-tank reactor, the design calculations are as follows: • Determine the scale-up/down factor Dp/Dm • Calculate the dimensions of the prototype (height H and diameter Dt of tanks, impeller diameter Di) by multiplying that of the model with the scale-up/down factor. - Select criterion related to dynamic properties and keep it constant in both the model and the prototype. - Determine the parameters such as impeller speed for the scale-up/down reactor.
Summary of Bioreactor Design and Operation • Sterilization liquid: thermal inactivating 1- P0(t)= 1-[1-e-kdt]N0 kd = αe-E0d/RT From the above equation: • Known N0, T, t, determine Kd, the probability of an unsuccessful sterilization is determined. • Given N0, T, acceptable probability of failure e.g. 10-3, required time can be determined • Higher Kd tends to achieve low probability of sterilization failure. Normally at 121oC. Kd of vegetative cells > 1010 min-1, spores 0.5-5 min-1. The major concern is spores.
Summary of Bioreactor Design and Operation • Sterilization Degradation of important compounds in the medium by thermal inactivating ln C/C0=-kdt where C and C0 are concentrations of the component at time t and t=0, respectively. kd is the degradation rate constant. kd = αe-E0d/RT To determine the components remaining active: the temperature T → determine kd → with known t, determine C.
