In biochemical processes involving cultivation of animal cells, the supply of oxygen in culture medium is an extremely important parameter in the project of bioreactors and its operation. In this work, the global volumetric transfer coefficient of oxygen (KLa) is evaluated in a Taylor vortex flow bioreactor (TVFB) and a correlation of mass transfer, of this equipment, is proposed.
