The potential for fast and specific process optimization by functional prototyping with 3D printed reactors was shown a known continuous emulsion polymerization in modular setup. Three tubular reactors, two static mixing elements continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) were from polylactic acid. Thermal imaging of the allows to map basically adiabatic progress redox-started radical space-resol...

Abstract Thai cassava starch industry generates solid waste or pulp approximately of 9.5 Mt/y (with a moisture content 70–80%). Biogas production technology has been introduced for several decades in Thailand. However, the implementation biogas using as feedstock is still limited due to complex lignocellulosic structure, which diminishes hydrolysis. This work investigated from 50-m 3 pilot-scal...

This study aims to establish a mathematical model for the Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) reactor that exhibits highly nonlinear dynamics and was carried out implemented by model-based conventional non-conventional controllers temperature control. The developed were Proportional, Proportional-Integral, Proportional-Derivative, Proportional-Integral-Derivative, Two Degrees of Freedom, Mod...

Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) synthesis from sunflower oil and methanol using an immobilized lipase, an example of a liquid-liquid solid reaction, was studied in batch and various continuous reactor set-ups including the use of a centrifugal contactor separator (CCCS). The latter is an example of a highly intensified device, integrating liquid-liquid reactions and subsequent phase...

In the present study, the possibility of optimizing biogas production from manure by serial digestion was investigated. In the lab-scale experiments, process performance and biogas production of serial digestion, two methanogenic continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR) connected in series, was compared to a conventional one-step CSTR process. The one-step process was operated at 55 degrees C ...

Almost every real process exhibits nonlinear behavior in a full operating range. Local Model Networks are networks which are composed of locally accurate models, where output is interpolated by smooth locally active validity functions. This divide-and-conquer strategy is a general way of coping with complex systems. The architecture of LMN benefits from being able to incorporate a priori knowle...

The control of metabolite production is difficult in mixed culture fermentation. This is particularly related to hydrogen inhibition. In this work, hydrogenotrophic methanogens were selectively enriched to reduce the hydrogen partial pressure and to realize efficient acetate production in extreme-thermophilic (70°C) mixed culture fermentation. The continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was stab...

In this study, a newly established bench-scale thermophilic continuously stirred fluidized bed reactor (CSFBR) was applied for anaerobic co-digestion of food waste (FW) with grease trap (GTW). The performance CSFBR regarding stability and treatment efficiency inspected through laboratory contrast experiment two traditional continuous tank reactors (CSTRs). the OLR range 3.19–7.41 g COD/L/d, met...

In order to achieve an appropriate effluent ratio of ammonium and nitrite as influent the anaerobic oxidation process, optimum conditions for partial nitritation in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) were investigated using real reject water. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) alkalinity (HCO3-)/NH4+-N major factors that greatly influenced nitritation. As result operation, conversion efficien...
