Synopsis

A special report, which contains data difficult to obtain in other ways, surveys the state-of-the-art in industrial fermentation and control. Drawing on a one-year study, its objectives are to spread a general awareness of the capabilities of new technology.

IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

We are the heart of the process community, promoting competence and a commitment to sustainable development, advancing the discipline for the benefit of society and supporting the professional development of members.

Some of the areas we publish in include:

-Safety in the process industries - the BP Process Safety series

-Consultancy for chemical engineers

-Project management in the process industries

-Contract management in the process industries - International Forms Of Contract series

-Communication skills for engineers

About this title

Synopsis:

Surveys the state-of-the-art in industrial fermentation monitoring and control. The main aim of the report is to encourage industry to take up methodologies suggested by research. It draws its conclusions from a one-year study into issues such as: improving data analysis procedures and monitoring techniques; applying estimation methods to enhance on-line information; easing the task of establishing effective closed-loop control systems; utilizing artificial intelligence techniques to improve process fault detection and diagnosis and provide general operator assistance; using optimization approaches where possible to enhance bioprocess profitability from development laboratory scale to large-scale production. The study minimizes the mathematical content and provides tutorial-level descriptions of some of the more complex techniques.
