Abstract

The mixing time and fractional gas hold-up have been measured in a bubble column 1 m in diameter using nine sparger designs. It has been shown that an optimum design of sparger (for either mixing time or gas hold-up) is possible for columns having a low height-to-diameter ratio and at low superficial gas velocities. The optimum design also depends on the physical properties of the system. The optimum design of the sparger has been shown to be different for mixing time and gas hold-up.
