摘要：

A previously presented model for an airlift fermentor is extended by considering the variations of pressure along the tubes. The fluid dynamics of the system is represented with the aid of correlations obtained from experiments. Only O2 concentrations are considered. The influences of the various parameters affecting the system are analyzed. The model allows prediction of O2 concentrations in the different points of an airlift fermentor and calculation of the best values of the gas flow rate.
