- Bioreactors create a biologically active environment for the production of chemicals. A bioreactor is a vessel where organisms are grown and preferential products are produced by controlling the feed and temperature. Bioreactors can either be aerobic or anaerobic.
One particular batch bioreactor is fed at varying rates throughout the batch process to produce ethanol. Algebraic equations define the heat generation, rate constants, volume, and other factors used in the model. Differential equations are from material, species, and energy balances. The differential equations relate the input flow and substrate concentrations to ethanol production. The model can be used to investigate advanced process control to maximize performance subject to a feeding strategy and measured disturbances.
The simulation model of an ethanol bioreactor can be used to optimize the production of ethanol by providing a virtual platform to test different scenarios and strategies without the need for costly and time-consuming experimental trials. Follow these steps to optimize the ethanol production:
Define the parameters: Once the model is built, the next step is to define the parameters that affect the production of ethanol. These may include variables such as temperature, substrate concentration, batch time, and other relevant variables.
1. Run simulations: Using the defined parameters, run simulations to determine the best conditions for maximizing ethanol production. The simulations can be run repeatedly, each time changing one or more variables to determine the optimal combination.
2. Analyze the results: After running the simulations, analyze the results to identify the optimal conditions for maximizing ethanol production. The analysis can be done using statistical techniques or data visualization tools to help identify trends and patterns.
3. Optimize the bioreactor: Based on the results of the analysis, optimize the bioreactor operation by adjusting the parameters to the identified optimal conditions. This may involve adjusting the reactor temperature, substrate concentration, or other variables.
4. Validate the model: test the simulation model by comparing the results obtained from the simulation with experimental data obtained from the actual bioreactor. This ensures that the results of the optimization are accurate.
The optimization strategy is used to determine the optimal Tcin (temperature to the cooling jacket) and Fair (air flow).

you genuinely make engineering easy, not just look easy. actually easy. thank you
Thanks for that positive feedback!
🤩🤩 esperando este contenido 🤩🤩
Thank you! Have a nice day!
Amazing. Thank you very much!
Did not know there were empirical models for these, very cool!
Yes, many physics-based and empirical models of these bioreactors.
Thank you professor, I have similar subject (ethanol production in column with five nodes for experimental tests) that I need to make a module, if you could help me. Thanks
That sounds like a great project. I get many requests for individual help each week. Unfortunately, I can’t help with all those requests, but I do try to answer questions on StackOverflow related to Gekko: stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/gekko
Thank you professor
