Mott manufactures spargers that it says provide significantly better mixing than perforated pipe in bioreactors and fermentors
The pharmaceutical and biotech industries have applications that require more critical air and gas mixing requirements in many tank applications and that is where Mott's porous metal spargers are the optimal solution.
In-tank applications, with the sparging elements located in the tank, can be both, batch or continuous flow, with or without agitation.
Mott spargers introduce gases into liquids through millions of tiny pores, creating bubbles far smaller and more numerous than with competitive sparging devices.
The result is vastly greater gas/liquid contact area, which reduces the time and volume required to dissolve the gas into the liquid.
Mott has designed and manufactured many custom solutions for companies in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Working closely with process engineers, Mott technicians can determine the most suitable media grade and proper configuration by sizing the spargers to the customer's requirements.
Specific properties and conditions are taken into account in the design and manufacture of spargers.
Flow rate, process temperature, system pressure, and corrosive effects are just a few.
Mott sparging products can be configured into any number of shapes and sized include cups, discs, and tubular elements manufactured through a sintered powdered metal process that strictly controls uniformity and distribution of pores.
Mott also has the capability of incorporating hardware based on the specific application for a perfect fit and easy installation.
Passivation of the parts is also available upon request.
Engineers and technical representatives at Mott have not only the ability to assist these special requirements, but also take the time to ensure the product and applications are the right fit.
