title = "Multiphysics Computational-Fluid-Dynamics (CFD) for Design and Scale-Up of Gas Bioreactors that Utilize CO2",
abstract = "Gas fermentation technology offers sustainable and high carbon-efficiency routes to fuels and chemicals. However, efficiently delivering low-solubility substrate gases to production-scale bioreactors is a significant technical challenge that could limit productivity. We perform fundamental and applied multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research targeting specific challenges of gas delivery in fermentation systems that utilize varied gas-compositions, for e.g. CO2/CO/CH4/H2 substrates: bubble dynamics, coupled mass-transfer and reaction, that can lead to optimal reactor designs at scale. This work will support BETO goals towards greenhouse gas reduction, derisking technologies toward commercialization/deployment and sustainable-aviation-fuel synthesis targets.",
