Bioreactors for remediation of hydrocarbons in rivers and lagoons of San Luis Potosí

“…For example, UAMI consortium constituted by Acinetobacter bouvetii, Xanthomonas sp., Shewanella sp. and Defluvibacter lusatiensis, isolated from Cyperus laxus's rhizosphere, in an oil-contaminated swamp in Mexico (Díaz-Ramírez et al, 2003;Sandoval-Herazo et al, 2020) or marine bacteria like Arthrobacter bambusae able to uptake phenol (Zakaria et al, 2020). Subsequently, the Gutiérrez-Rojas working group showed the UAMI consortium ability to uptake Maya crude oil (Medina-Moreno, et al, 2005).…”

“…The airlift bioreactors (ALB) are a low-cost alternative used in remediation of hydrocarbons (Manowattana et al, 2018;Nápoles-Álvarez et al, 2017). Furthermore, ALB has advantages over other types of reactors such as bubble column and stirred tank: reduced cell damage, high aeration rate and more significant mass transfer (Gamboa-Suasnavart et al, 2019;Sandoval-Herazo et al, 2020). The hydrodynamics highly influences efficiency of ALB in the gas phase (evaluated with gas holdup and Sauter mean diameter) (Jamshidi & Mostoufi, 2017).…”

Hydrodynamics evaluation of an internal-loop airlift reactor with Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids: Experimentation vs CFD simulation

“…Due to the absence of mechanical moving parts, both EL-ALRs and IL-ALRs are considered lowshear mixing devices, and therefore, are widely used as aerobic fermenters in many shear-sensitive biochemical processes, e.g., the production of enzymes, antibiotics, proteins, biomass, and other biotechnology products (Chisti, 1989), and in other treatment processes as degradation of hydrocarbons (Lizardi-Jiménez & Gutiérrez-Rojas, 2011;Lizardi-Jiménez et al, 2015;Sánchez-Vázquez et al, 2017;Valdivia-Rivera et al, 2019;Medina-Moreno et al, 2020;Sandoval-Herazo et al, 2020). However, one of the main advantages of IL-ALRs with respect to EL-ALRs is their simplicity in mechanical design and geometry (Verlaan, 1987).…”

Biodigester with mixing by hydraulic recirculation of the wastewater on biogas production: Fundamentals in the design and scaling by a dimensional analysis

“…The energy demand at a global level is increasing significantly, and around 88% is covered by fossil fuels (Michaelowa et al, 2018;Christophers, 2019). This high energetic dependence on fossil fuels has also caused an environmentally negative impact, both by pollution (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2019;Sandoval-Herazo et al, 2020) and the greenhouse effect. The above has led to implementing technologies for the use of clean energies, allowing diminished dependence on carbon and petroleum in the medium term (IEA, 2015).…”
