What Does ALR Stand For?
ALR stands for Airlift Loop Reactor
The Airlift Loop Reactor (ALR) is a highly efficient bioreactor design that facilitates the cultivation of microorganisms and cell cultures by utilizing a continuous circulation system. This innovative setup enhances mass transfer and nutrient distribution within the reactor, promoting optimal growth conditions. The ALR is widely used in biotechnology and chemical engineering for processes such as fermentation and biomass production, offering advantages in scalability and process control. Its unique loop design allows for improved mixing and reduced shear stress, making it suitable for sensitive applications.
