In this work, earlier published work on the development and investigation of fermentors with various contacting arrangements is reviewed. Methods and results of investigations on optimal construction of contacting plates are presented, and mass transfer and other characteristics of the performance of the equipment are discussed. Comparative estimates of various methods of determining mass transfer coefficients are presented. The construction and basic operating characteristics of several column fermentors with various contacting arrangements are described.
