碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 化學工程系 === 93 === In recent years, fermenter control has been an active area of research and has attracted considerable interest. The fermentation is a kind of biochemical process. If we regard it as a viewpoint of the chemical reaction, then this kind of behavior of microorganism is like a catalyst in chemical reactions, and the microorganism transforms the substrate into products. Improving the productivity of a fermentation process has long been an important industrial practice. For most of continuous systems, the considerations of productivity are products or biomass. Many studies have been made on improving the steady-state product productivity for continuous fermentation process. The control of productivity is also feasible, but it is only single-input single-output control structure. In fact, the single-input single-output structure is operating on the non-optimal conditions. Therefore, this initiated the research motive in optimal productivity. This study will compare several kind of control modes and discuss the influence of optimal operation.
