Insights from Mathematical Modelling into Process Control of Oxygen Transfer in Batch Stirred Tank Bioreactors for Reducing Energy Requirement

Significant energy savings can be made in aerobic stirred tank batch bioreactors by the manipulation of agitator power (<i>Pag</i>) and air flowrate per unit working volume (<i>vvm</i>). Control is often implemented to maintain the oxygen concentration in the bioreaction liqu...
