Popis: In the production of biological preparations for agriculture there are promising jet bioreactors with an external circulation ring, providing intense mixing of the medium along with a high degree of aeration. However, application of these bioreactors is limited by large shear loads on the microorganisms (microorganism cells) arising in the circulation pump. The article deals with one of the ways for solving this problem by using a low-capacity pump for the circulation of the fermentation medium according to a non-standard scheme of medium jet aeration in order to intensify the mass exchange processes. There are presented results of physical simulation of the mixing parameters of flows in an aerator-jet mixer and their impact upon the intensity of metabolic processes in the circulation ring of a bioreactor.
