Porous Sparger - Quick Change Sparger System for Bioreactors and Fermentors Air Sparger Accessories- Microbial or Cell Culture – HENGKO

Stainless steel sparger is to supply enoughoxygen to the microbes in submerge culture techniquefor proper metabolism. Each fermentation process requires unique type of aeration system.

High surface area means fast, efficient mass transfer. The key to high-efficiency sparging is fine bubble Bpropagation which provides maximum surface area for effective "mass transfer." HENGKO precision porous sparger creates fine bubbles over a broad range of application requirements.HENGKO spargers with thousands of pores over the surface, large volumes of gas can be passed with very high specific area. For example, with equal volumes of gas, 1mm bubbles would have 6.35 times more gas-liquid contact surface area than 6.35mm (1/4”) bubbles.

WHAT IS NEED FOR AERATION

• To suspend the cells

• To enhance the heat and mass transfer

• Blending miscible liquids

POROUS SPARGER 

• Made of sintered metals 
• Used mainly on a large scale fermenters 
• Bubble size produced -10-100 times larger than pores 
• Throughout of air is low-P drop across 
• Clogging of pores

In bioreactor and fermentor systems, optimal mass transfer of gases like oxygen or carbon dioxide is a difficult task to accomplish. Oxygen, in particular, is poorly soluble in water – and even less in cell culture and fermentation broths. HENGKO’s line of porous spargers can help oxygenation and regulation of carbon dioxide which are key factors to the successful operation of a bioreactor.
