A continuous reactor has a productivity of 0.5 g/l/h. The volume of reactor required to produce 1.2 ton/day of the product is:
A continuous reactor has a productivity of 0.5 g/l/h. The volume of reactor required to produce 1.2 ton/day of the product is:
Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Bioreactor volume calculation for required productivity:Given:• Required production = 1.2 tonnes/day =per 24 hours• Volumetric productivity = 0.5 g/L/hConvert production to per-hour basis:Calculate required volume:Answer: Required bioreactor volume = 100,000 L = 100 m³.
