Maximum stable drop sizes measured in three different scales: A: 50 L, B: 3 m3, C: 40 m3. Dispersion of paraffin oil in 1 mM PO4-buffer at pH 7.3. Maximum stable drop size measured after 3 h agitation. Symbols for different reactor configurations as indicated in legend of Figure 2 (geometries according to Table 2). Code for different aeration rates: +-center: 0.1 vvm, full symbol: 0.4 vvm, open symbol: 0.7 vvm, x-center: 1.0 vvm.
