What Does a Sparger Do?

Spargers are an industry tool designed to deliver gas into a column flotation cell or leach tank to ensure that bubbles are dispersed evenly throughout the flotation cell or leach tank.

What is a sparger ring?

The ring sparger is a sparger pipe with ring sparger for installation in the lid of the culture vessel. The ring has small holes that, when connected to pressure air, distribute air as fine bubbles in the bioreactor / fermentor to allow effective aeration.

How do you size a sparger?

Sparger sizing is based on the superficial gas exit velocity from the porous sparger surface, expressed in feet per minute (FPM), calculated from actual cubic feet per minute per square foot of sparger surface area (ACFM/Ft. 2).
