this study investigated the microbial community in a full scale anaerobic baffled reactor and sequencing batch reactor system for oil-produced water treatment in summer and winter. the community structures of fungi and bacteria were analyzed through polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and illumina high-throughput sequencing, respectively. chemical oxygen demand eff...

This contribution deals with controlling of semi-batch reactor used for chromium sludge regeneration process. A comparison of three process control approaches is presented. Usual PID controller without online identification (OI) and adaptive PID controller were adapted to semi-batch rector process in our previous studies. The new one two-degree-offreedom (2DOF) controller is developed for the s...

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) seeded with flocculated sludge and fed with synthetic wastewater was operated for an enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process. Eight weeks after reactor startup, sludge granules were observed. The granules had a diameter of 0.5 to 3.0 mm and were brownish in color and spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. No significant change was observed in sludge gr...

The present work aims to evaluate filamentous bulking control in hybrid systems. For this study, four sequencing batch reactors (SBR) fed with acetate were operated without (SBR1) and with support for biofilm growth [5 % (SBR2), 10 % (SBR3) and 20 % (SBR4) of the reactor volume]. The results demonstrated an overabundance of a filamentous fungi-like microorganism in the SBR operating just with s...

Within the spectrum of current applications for cell culture technologies, efficient large-scale mammalian cell production processes are typically carried out in stirred fed-batch or perfusion bioreactors. The specific aspects of each individual process that can be considered when determining the method of choice are presented. A major challenge for perfusion reactor design and operation is the...

Abstract: A stepwise software sensor (SS) based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed. For monitoring scheme derivation, two methodologies concerning SS with a cascade structure and a novel formalization of kinetics are used. The Kalman’s filtering approach is applied for state and parameter estimation under assumption that the dry cell weight concentration is measured on-line only. The e...

background: the modeling aims to simulate or optimize a process in physical, chemical or biological environments and the derived model will provide a considerable assistance to generate data and predict unknown condition, in case of sufficient suitability. unsuitable disposal and elimination of waste tires have polluted the environment and human life areas, it also have caused removal of a huge...

The main objective of the presented work is to compare two model predictive control strategies by applying them to an antibiotic production in a fed-batch fermentation process. The reactor is modelled as a nonlinear biological compartment system with 13 states. The well-known nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is compared with a control strategy based on online optimization of the full t...

This paper describes the application of a model predictive controller to the problem of batch reactor temperature control. Although a great deal of work has been done to improve reactor throughput using batch sequence control, the control of the actual reactor temperature remains a difficult problem for many operators of these processes. Temperature control is important as many chemical reactio...
