Rethinking Traditional Bioreactor Approaches

On-demand

(Webinar 2 in a Series of 3)

In traditional scale-up methods for bioreactors, engineers try to maintain the geometry of a fixed height to diameter ratio and a fixed tip speed of the impeller. However, it is well known that these strategies do not lead to a fully scalable solution. At GEA, we believe in shifting the focus from keeping geometries the same to keeping gradients the same.

In this webinar, we will explain how GEA is using our Digital Twin to implement this change by establishing the process framework and scaling up, as well as utilizing this tool to design large-scale bioreactors. We will also provide examples of what such a scaled-up version can look like, and how we address some of the challenges that come with scaling up.

What you will learn:

  • Why one design does not fit all applications and how GEA is rethinking bioreactor designs.
  • How to incorporate these new requirements into a novel scale up approach.
  • How GEA is mitigating the challenges that arise when scales become larger.

This webinar is planned for 45 minutes and includes 15 minutes of questions.
