Dynamics and Control of Cell Populations in Continuous Bioreactors

چکیده
Continuous bioreactors are critical unit operations in a wide variety of biotechnological processes. While they can be viewed as chemical reactors, bioreactors offer unique modeling and control challenges due to the complexity of the underlying biochemical reactions and the distributed properties of the cell population. The dynamic behavior of continuous bioreactors can be strongly affected by variations between individual cells that are captured only with cell population models. The objective of this paper is to outline recent progress in dynamic analysis and feedback control of continuous bioreactors described by cell population models. The industrially important process of continuous yeast production is used to illustrate various concepts. Future research problems in cell population modeling, dynamics and control are outlined to provide insights on the key challenges and opportunities in this emerging area.

Dynamic Simulation and Control of a Continuous Bioreactor Based on Cell Population Balance Model
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. Because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (PBE) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. In this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used f...
