20.6 Conclusions Transfer coefficients have received
relatively little attention within SSF bioreactors. At the moment the available information is not sufficient to allow the proposal of general correlations and therefore it will be necessary to determine the coefficients experimentally for each particular bioreactor. In the absence of experimentally determined correlations, correlations for non-SSF systems can be used, although it must be realized that doing this may bring inaccuracies in the model predictions.
