Abstract

In this study, a multiphase compartment model for U-loop bioreactors is proposed and applied to a 5.5 [m3] pilot scale U-loop. The developed compartment model that includes the material balance of multiple compounds in the gas and liquid phases as well as interfacial mass transfer is coupled with the microbial biokinetics to simulate the fermentation process. The model inputs and outputs are identified in terms of control systems, and the model is linearized around industrially relevant operating conditions. The linearized system is identified in terms of relative gain and a linear state-space model is fitted.
