Bioreactor numerical analysis and optimisation

Concentration distribution in a bioreactor
Concentration distribution in a bioreactor
The knowledge of distribution of chemical species (e.g. O2) necessary for cell survival as well as the waste product concentration is of major importance for bioreactor efficiency and life expectancy.

Mass transport by diffusion, convection and chemical reactions among the different species are shown the simulation.
On the basis of its extensive experience, ASD offers a simulation-based improvement of performance in modern bioreactors.

The optimisation of extra-luminal flow conditions in bioreactor-elements, e.g. in a combined membrane-hollow fibre bioreactor, offers great potential for further increasing the efficiency of bioreactors.
The aim is to maximise the efficiency of mass transport and simultaneously achieve a low level of blood and cell damage.
