German term or phrase: Mammutschlaufenreaktor
This beast consists of two vertical concentric tubes. Liquid is propelled upward by bubbles inside the inner tube and recirculates downward through the outer tube. I found 'loop-type bubble column' or 'loop reactor' for Schlaufenreaktor, but have found no translation for the 'Mammut' part.

Many thanks for any hints.

large-loop reactor


Explanation:
could it be that?
The use of the word "Mammut" is a bit emotive though, in the context of science/engineering. Maybe it's a proper name?

air lift loop reactor


Explanation:
Check DeVries under mammuth, after mammoth batteries and giant redwoods they list Mammutpumpe as a air-lift pump.
