Abstract

Abstract The use of residence time distribution analysis to characterize the liquid phase hydrodynamics in bioreactors is reviewed, with special emphasis on packed bed bioreactors. The importance of tracer selection, the method of data analysis and other uses for the data collected in RTD measurements are discussed.
