Abstract
A bioreactor includes three compartments. A middle compartment is meant to contain a biocatalyst and is separated from opposite end compartments by semipermeable membrane. The middle compartment is in the form of a vertically extending cylinder with domed top and bottom walls. The opposite end compartments are also in the form of domes but extend horizontally. Lower supply and upper discharge lines are connected to each of the end compartments. An agitator is connected in the bottom of the middle compartment and a degasser is connected to the top of the middle compartment.
