Syngas Fermentation to Alcohols: Reactor Technology and Application Perspective

“…A description of various studies on k L a , , , , , , , , , , 67, 88, 89, is given in Tab. S2, general overviews can also be found elsewhere , , , .…”

“…In addition to research activities of various universities, three companies are known for their gas fermentation pilot plants: INEOS Bio, Coskata Inc. and LanzaTech , , .…”

“…INEOS Bio was established in 2008 with the acquisition of Bioengineering Resources Inc. (BRI) by the INEOS Group . BRI was founded by James L. Gaddy, Professor at the University of Arkansas and pioneer in gas fermentation research.…”

“…As gas-liquid mass transfer is considered as a reactionlimiting factor of gas fermentation, a high level of research activity with regard to k L a measurements in different reactor configurations can be observed in this context [66,67,88,[90][91][92] [7,9,29,95]. k L a values are specific for each system and depend on various parameters such as stirrer speed, gas volume flow, gas bubble size, liquid phase circulation rate, reactor geometry, internals or packing materials [9,36,96].…”

“…In addition to research activities of various universities, three companies are known for their gas fermentation pilot plants: INEOS Bio, Coskata Inc. and LanzaTech [5,28,95]. INEOS Bio was established in 2008 [95] with the acquisition of Bioengineering Resources Inc. (BRI) by the INEOS Group [5]. BRI was founded by James L. Gaddy, Professor at the University of Arkansas and pioneer in gas fermentation research.…”
