Potential application of monolith packed columns as bioreactors, control of biofilm formation.

Abstract:

:Monolith reactors combine good mass transfer characteristics with low-pressure drop, the principle factors affecting the cost effectiveness of industrial processes. Recently, these specific features of the monolith reactors have drawn the attention toward the application of the monolith reactor in multiphase reaction systems. In this study, we explore the potential application of monolith reactors as bioreactor requiring gas-liquid mass transfer for substrate supply. It is demonstrated on theoretical grounds that the monolith reactor is a competitive alternative to conventional gas-liquid bioreactors such as stirred tanks, packed beds, and airlift bioreactors because it allows for a significant reduction of the energy dissipation that is normally required for gas-liquid contacting. A potential problem of monolith reactors for biological processes is clogging due to biofilm formation. This paper presents experimental results of a study into the formation and possible removal of biofilms during operation of a monolith reactor as suspended cells bioreactor. The results indicate that biofilm formation may be minimized and postponed by a proper choice of operating conditions. Periodic biofilm removal could straightforwardly be achieved by rinsing with water at moderate pressures and allows for stable operation for prolonged periods of time.
