  abstract = {{T}he scale-up of column fermenters by 6 to 410 gravimetric scale factors, from 10 g moist substrate size, has been achieved efficiently by maintaining heat and water balances in the media. {T}he data on the patterns of ethanol production, biomass formation, the concentration of different carbohydrates, dry matter and p{H} values against time were of equal magnitude in 10- and 60-g size column fermenters. {T}he reactors of 60-, 370- and 4100-g sizes also compared well in respect of {O}2 consumption, {CO}2 evolution and the specific growth rates in aerobic and anaerobic fermentations phases. {T}he overall productivities of ethanol were similar in all the four column fermenters. {T}he ability to obtain the same results in all the fermenter sizes, in spite of the increases in the diameter and the height of the columns, indicates the high potential of this simple scale-up criterion which has not been used earlier for scale-up of any fermentation process.
