Yield improvement in large-scale bubble column fermenters. For companies operating in the global marketplace, yield differences of a few percent can be critically important. Improving yeast fermentation yield requires major advances in modelling the bubble size distribution and how this impacts micro- and macro-scale mixing. Model-based knowledge transfer via full-scale plant trials is a key outcome.
