This thesis explores the behaviour of biofilm fermenters through the analysis of two individual biofilm fermentation case studies. The studies were performed in a novel tubular bioreactor with homogeneously controlled shear. The case studies included a two-phase (gas–liquid) study performed on the anaerobic, lactic acid-producing Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and a three-phase (gas–liquid–solid) study on the CO2-fixating, succinic acid-producing Actinobacil-lus succinogenes. The studies focused specifically on four parameters, namely volumetric pro-duction rates, specific production rates, the metabolic product distributions with correspond-ing redox analysis, and the biofilm compositions as a function of shear conditions. tm2015 mi2026 Chemical Engineering PhD Unrestricted SDG-07: Affordable and clean energy SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-12: Responsible consumption and production 2015-11-25T09:53:54Z 2015-11-25T09:53:54Z 2015/09/01 2015 Thesis Brink, HG 2015, Production analysis of biofilm fermentation under homogeneous shear conditions, PhD Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/50843> S2015 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/50843 en © 2015 University of Pretoria.
