Performance of a tubular elastic sparger |

| Authors: | M E Weber E Loiselle J-M Charrier |
| Abstract: | Elastic spargers were made from natural latex rubber tubes by repeatedly piercing the tube wall with a lance-shaped needle to make multiple, axially-aligned, slit-like punctures. Gas holdups, volumetric mass transfer coefficients and pressure drops were measured at several gas flowrates for single elastic spargers oriented vertically in a column of liquid, and compared with the corresponding measurements for a rigid sparger. |
