Abstract
A model of ethanol fermentation considering the effect of temperature was d eveloped and validated. Experiments were performed in a temperature range f rom 28 to 40 degreesC in continuous mode with total cell recycling using a tangential microfiltration system. The developed model considered substrate , product and biomass inhibition, as well as an active cell phase (viable) and an inactive (dead) phase. The kinetic parameters were described as func tions of temperature.
