A reactor arrangement for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member(s), a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media in a continuous process. The arrangement comprises at least one reactor with a cylindrical reaction vessel () in which at least one reactor a transformation device () has been mounted. The vessel () comprises at least one inlet port () in the vicinity of its bottom wall () and at least one outlet port () arranged in the vicinity of its upper end portion. Each inlet port () is connected to a fluid supply member () configured to be submerged below the fluid surface level in a pool or a pond. The fluid supply member () comprises at least one inlet opening () configured to continuously supply a fluid from the pool or the pond to the vessel (). Each outlet port () is configured to continuously let out the fluid from the vessel () to the pool or the pond via the outlet port (). Further a method of using the reactor arrangement is provided.

Reactor arrangement comprising a means for rotating and/or oscillating a transformation device and a method of using such reactor arrangement

The invention refers to a reactor and a method respectively for performing, by means of solid reaction members, a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media, and a subsequent cleaning of the reactor, said reactor comprising a vessel () in which a transformation device () has been mounted. The invention also refers to a reactor kit comprising such reactor. The reactor comprises at least one nozzle () arranged on the longitudinal inner wall of the vessel (). The at least one nozzle () is arranged to direct a flow of a cleaning fluid (CF) in a direction towards a longitudinal centre axis (L) of a flow distributor () arranged in the vessel ().

Reactor comprising a nozzle for cleaning fluid, a kit and a method

The invention refers to a flow-promoting device (&#x2033;) for performing a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic medium. The flow-promoting device (&#x2033;) comprises a ferromagnetic material () and a retaining structure (&#x2033;), the retaining structure having a compartment (&#x2033;) defined by a permeable material (&#x2033;). The retaining structure (&#x2033;) comprises a top wall (&#x2033;) and a circumferential side wall (&#x2033;), wherein the top wall (&#x2033;) and the circumferential side wall (&#x2033;) is formed mainly by said permeable material (&#x2033;). The compartment (&#x2033;) of the retaining structure (&#x2033;) is arranged to contain at least one fluid-permeable solid reaction member.

Flow-promoting device, a reactor arrangement and the use of such flow-promoting device

The present invention relates to the field of biological and chemical transformation as well as physical and chemical trapping. More specifically, the invention relates to a new reactor arrangement for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member, biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from or release of agents to, a fluidic medium. The reactor arrangement is comprised of an auxiliary reactor having a transformation device and a main reactor. The invention also provides an auxiliary reactor adapted for being connected to a main reactor, a method of using such a reactor arrangement, as well as a process involving the reactor arrangement.

Auxiliary reactor for biological or chemical transformation

The present invention relates to a new reactor for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member, biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic medium, which reactor is comprised of a reactor vessel comprising means for enhancing fluidic shear stress, and a transformation device operatively mounted in said reactor vessel. The invention also provides a kit of parts comprising a reactor vessel comprising means for enhancing fluidic shear stress and a transformation device. Finally, the invention provides a method of using said reactor and/or said kit of parts for biological or chemical transformation or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic medium, by means of at least one solid reaction member.
