The correct answer is (b) False

To explain: The airlift bioreactors provide better mixing than bubble column reactors. The airlift bioreactors provide a configuration of a greater degree of stability to liquid flow compared with bubble columns. Therefore, higher gas flow rates can be used without incurring operating problems like spray formation.
