Producción CientíficaThis study aimed at systematically comparing the potential of two empirical methods for the estimation of the volumetric CH4 mass transfer coefficient (klaCH4), namely gassing-out and oxygen transfer rate (OTR), to describe CH4 biodegradation in a fermenter operated with a methanotrophic consortium at 400, 600 and 800 rpm. The klaCH4 estimated from the OTR methodology accurately predicted the CH4 elimination capacity (EC) under CH4 mass transfer limiting conditions regardless of the stirring rate (∼9% of average error between empirical and estimated ECs). Thus, empirical CH4-ECs of 37.8 ± 5.8, 42.5 ± 5.4 and 62.3 ± 5.2 g CH4 m−3 h−1 vs predicted CH4-ECs of 35.6 ± 2.2, 50.1 ± 2.3 and 59.6 ± 3.4 g CH4 m−3 h−1 were recorde...
