Question

Problem:
In a lab scale bioreactor production of
gluconic acid in optimized medium is 180 g/l.
The time duration of cultivation is 36 hours
and downtime for cleaning, sterilization,
medium preparation etc. is 12 hours. You have
been asked to design a fermentor for the
production of 2000 Tonnes per annum. State
your assumptions and geometrical ratios for
your design?

Answer 1

Answer:

"Tonnes" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.

Answer 2

Answer:

Production on an industrial scale, requires growing microbes in very large vessels called fermentors.
