Sparger – In aerobic cultivation process the purpose of the sparger is to supply oxygen to the growing cells. Bubbling of air through the sparger not only provide the adequate oxygen to the growing cells but also helps in the mixing of the reactor contents thereby reducing the power consumed to achieve a particular level of (mixing) homogeneity in the culture.
