What is the Rushton Turbine Blade Thickness in industrial fermenters?

Dear all

I am investigating various (Bio)reactor designs and I am struggling to find dimensions of the Ruston turbine blades especially the blade thickness. I want to know what is the common thickness in relation to reactor dimensions (or volume for that matter) mostly in industrial cases.

With regards,

Chris

Dear Farid Benyahia

Thank for your response I did find the same formulation in the "Handbook of Industrial Mixing: Science and Practice" page 1310 on google books.

But I was generally curious about the thickness calculations in the industrial cases. Is there not any other correlation for it? or do yourself have any experience with such equipment?
