Claims29
A bioreactor comprising a reactor vessel and a circulation loop,
- the reactor vessel having a longitudinal axis defining an axial direction and a radial direction extending substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, the reactor vessel comprising at least one outlet providing fluid communication between the reactor vessel and the circulation loop, the reactor vessel comprising a vessel top, a vessel bottom, and a vessel wall, and
- the circulation loop comprising at least one pump, and at least one nozzle positioned at the vessel wall for injection of reaction fluid from the circulation loop into the reactor vessel, there being a fluid pathway from the at least one outlet to the at least one nozzle via the at least one pump.
