Characterisation of the Oscillatory Flow Reactor for the Fermentation of Escherichia coli

Oscillatory Flow Reactor (OFR) is a novel type of tubular reactor consists of an equally spaced orifice baffles fitted inside the column of the reactor. The mixing in the OFR can be controlled by a combination of geometrical (i.e. baffles and orifice diameter) and operational parameters (i.e. oscill...
