G. Roux et B. Dahhou, DISTURBANCE-ACCOMMODATING CONTROL APPROACH APPLIED FOR THE CONTROL OFA CONTINUOUS STIRRED-TANK REACTOR, Bioprocess engineering, 11(1), 1994, pp. 1-5
This paper describes an experimental study of linear adaptive control
to achieve the monitoring of a continuous stirred tank reactor. The pr
actical control objective was the regulation of the substrate concentr
ation at a pre-specified value in the process effluent despite local c
hanges and/or culture physiology variations. The substrate concentrati
on and the dilution rate have been selected as the controlled and the
control variable respectively. The results obtained confirm that this
approach offers the possibility to combine simplicity and effectivenes
s in bioprocess control.
