Elastic spargers were made from natural latex rubber tubes by repeatedly piercing the tube wall with a lance‐shaped needle to make multiple, axially‐aligned, slit‐like punctures. Gas holdups, volumetric mass transfer coefficients and pressure drops were measured at several gas flowrates for single elastic spargers oriented vertically in a column of liquid, and compared with the corresponding measurements for a rigid sparger.
