Aeration Rate Calculator

Total working volume of the fermenter
Aeration rate in volume of air per volume of liquid per minute
Operating temperature of the fermentation
Operating pressure of the fermenter

Calculation Explanation

This calculator determines aeration parameters. Air Flow Rate is the fermenter volume multiplied by VVM (Volume of air per Volume of liquid per Minute). Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR) and Power Number are estimated using empirical correlations based on VVM, pressure, and temperature. Note: These correlations are simplified estimates.
