Abstract
A novel hybrid rotating and reciprocating perforated plate bubble column is designed indigenously. The novelty lies in combining the effects of stirred tank reactors, bubble columns and reciprocating plate columns using bevel gear arrangement. Box-Behnken experimental design in response surface methodology is chosen to predict the relationship between experimental variables and desired response of gas holdup. Agitation level, superficial gas velocity, superficial liquid velocity, perforation diameter and plate spacing are used as experimental variables. Air-water system is used in this investigation. The linear, square and interactive effects of experimental variables on gas holdup are studied. The F-test and P values were used to identify the experimental variables that significantly impact gas holdup.
