Fuel ethanol industry presents different problems during bioreactors operation. One of them
is the unexpected variation in the output ethanol concentration from the bioreactor or a …

Bioreactor control has become very important in recent years due to the difficulty in
controlling the highly non-linear behaviour associated with such systems. Model predictive …

A ubiquitous tool in mathematical biology and chemical engineering, the chemostat often
produces instabilities that pose safety hazards and adversely affect the optimization of …

The validity of a biochemical reactor model often is evaluated by comparing transient
responses to experimental data. Dynamic simulation can be a rather inefficient and …

In this paper, dynamical behavior and control of the continuous ethanol fermentation
process are studied. The process productivity is improved by using two fermenters …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis have long been known to exhibit
oscillatory behavior under suitable operating conditions (JoKbses, Egberts, Baalen, & Roels …

The stability characteristics of a continuous bioreactor with cell recycle for biodegradation of
mixed wastes are investigated. The system involves a pure culture of Pseudomonas putida …

A continuous B. Braun fermenter undergoing the first stage of bioreduction of gaseous
pollutant, SO2—abiotically transformed to sulfite solution, using Desulfotomaculum …

In this contribution we investigate the impact of the forcing waveform on the productivity of a
continuous bioreactor governed by an unstructured, nonlinear kinetic model. The (periodic) …

The biodegradation of pollutants in continuous operation when the microbial population
exhibits wall attachment is studied. The proposed model for wall attachment assumes two …
