A device for gassing a liquid, including a rotor, which is driven to rotate and has multiple vanes for conveying the liquid, and a stator, which surrounds the rotor and has a plurality of flow channels, which each extends starting from a radially inner inlet opening adjacent to the rotor through the stator to a radially outer outlet opening and are delimited along their length by side walls, bottom surfaces, and top surfaces and can be acted on with liquid by the rotor in the region of the inlet opening, wherein between the inlet opening and the outlet opening, the side walls and/or bottom and top surfaces of the flow channels have a multitude of gassing openings, which can be acted on with compressed gas from a compressed gas source in order to introduce this gas into the flow channels. A corresponding method for gassing a liquid is also disclosed.

A hyperboloid agitator for circulating liquids, in particular water, wastewater or the like, in the centre of which a connection portion (2) for connection to a hollow agitator shaft (1) is provided, characterised in that the hyperboloid agitator is formed as a hollow body, with a central aperture (3) for supplying air being provided in the connection portion (2), and in that an air distribution device (9, 10, 11) for distributing air supplied through the aperture (3) to a plurality of air outlet openings (14) provided in the hollow body is provided downstream of the aperture (3).

A method for carrying out a reaction process, in particular for setting the mixing and/or aeration of a reaction liquid while the reaction process is being carried out, which includes filling at least one reaction vessel with at least one reaction liquid, wherein an internal volume of the reaction vessel is not completely filled by the at least one reaction liquid at all times during the reaction process, and changing the internal volume of the reaction vessel in the course of the reaction process, in particular in a targeted manner, which causes a movement of the at least one reaction liquid.

In order to efficiently produce a liquid containing ultrafine bubbles of a desired gas, an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus includes a gas dissolving unit that dissolves a predetermined gas into a liquid, and a UFB generating unit that generates ultrafine bubbles in the liquid in which the predetermined gas is dissolved. A CPU performs control under a first condition in a case of causing the gas dissolving unit to operate in a circulation route passing through the dissolving unit. The CPU performs control under a second condition different from the first condition in a case of causing the UFB generating unit to operate in a circulation route passing through the UFB generating unit.

Each aeration manifold includes at least one inlet for receiving a gas and a plurality of gas outlet openings for delivering tire gas to a fluid within the bioprocessing system. An impeller assembly (740) fora bioprocessing system includes a hub and at least one blade (742) operatively connected to the hub. The at least one blade includes a first portion connected to the hub and extending generally vertically, and a second portion extending at an upward angle from tire first portion.

A bioreactor may comprise a head-plate configured to provide coupling features to attach selected components to the bioreactor. The bioreactor may also comprise impeller and sparger, and the sparger is positioned at a pre-determined distance from the impeller based at least in part on a spatial configuration of the head-plate. The bioreactor further comprises a vessel defining a hollow enclosure for receiving a culture medium, and an opening of the vessel is covered by the head-plate.
