| Abstract |
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and future perspectives of circular economy ask for new solutions to produce commodities and fine chemicals. Large-scale bubble columns operated by gaseous substrates such as CO, CO2, and H-2 to feed acetogens for product formations could be promising approaches. Valid in silico predictions of large-scale performance are needed to dimension bioreactors properly taking into account biological constraints, too. This contribution deals with the trade-off between sophisticated spatiotemporally resolved large-scale simulations using computationally intensive Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange approaches and coarse-grained 1-D models enabling fast performance evaluations. It is shown that proper consideration of gas hold-up is key to predict biological performance. Intrinsic bias of 1-D models can be compensated by reconsideration of Sauter diameters derived from uniquely performed Euler-Lagrange computational fluid dynamics. |
