1) Pilot plant test with a "Pod" indicated that excellent recovery (>95%) of a desired bioproduct could be obtained from filtered fermentation broth by extraction with an immiscible organic solvent. The flow rates were: Filtered broth (aqueous) flow rate = 500 mL/min (continuous phase) Organic Solvent flow rate - 125 ml/min (dispersed phase) The pilot plant extractor delivers a centrifugal force of 11,400 X g, and the rotating cylinder inside the extractor has a diameter of 20 cm and is 2.5 cm wide. You have been asked to scale up this extraction by using a larger "Pod" which delivers 2300 X g and has rotating cylinder with a diameter of 91 cm and a width of 91 cm. What flow rate should be used in the larger extractor to achieve the same recovery of bioproduct? 1) Pilot plant test with a "Pod" indicated that excellent recovery (>95%) of a desired bioproduct could be obtained from filtered fermentation broth by extraction with an immiscible organic solvent.
