Nonlinear Mpc for Recombinant Zymomonas Mobilis Fed-batch Ethanol Fermentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the development of an unstructured kinetic model incorporating the differing degrees of product inhibition on the kinetic rates of recombinant Zymomonas mobilis fermentation. A mechanism for the inhibition of two competing substrates cellular uptake via membrane transport is proposed. The model was utilized in a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm to control product concentration during fed-batch fermentation. Using optimal feeding policy determined online by the NMPC controller, the volumetric productivity of ethanol was improved by 16.6% relative to the equivalent batch operation when the same final ethanol concentration was reached.

Ethanol production by Zymomonas mobilis in fed-batch fermentations.
The production of ethanol by Zymomonas mobilis NRRL B-4286 was studied in fed-batch cultures. Initial percent (w/v) glucose, rate of feed, and quantity of 50%; (w/v) glucose feed were varied. Glucose inhibition of growth rate occurred at concentrations greater than 8% (w/) Feed was begun after 4 h incubation. Feed volume was ca. 36%; of starting batch volume to get ca. 10%; (w/v) ethanol at har...

متن کاملFermentation of molasses by Zymomonas mobilis: effects of temperature and sugar concentration on ethanol production.
Fermentations utilizing strains of Zymomonas mobilis, in place of the traditional yeasts, have been proposed due their ethanol yields being close to theoretical. Ethanol production from sugar cane molasses was analyzed under different culture conditions using Z. mobilis in batch fermentation. The total reducing sugars (TRS) concentrations in the molasses, temperature, agitation and culture time...

متن کاملEvaluation of Ethanol Production from Tannin-Reduced Carob Pod Extracts by Zymamonas Mobilis
Regarding some reported antimicrobial properties of tannins; Zymomonas mobilis was used to obtain ethanol from tannin-reduced carob pod extract (TR-CPE). Culture of 50 mL volume containing 7.5 g sugar at pH 5.5 and 0.03 g bacterial inoculums with shaking at 80 rpm was used. Using response surface methodology (RSM), the maximum ethanol concentration of 5.34 % w/v (higher than that reported earli...
