Continuous Production of Ethanol and Chemical Byproducts. Final Report

摘要

The chemostat design equations were derived and reported. A continuous culture apparatus was designed, ordered, and constructed. A completed lab scale continuous culture apparatus was realized by mid-spring of 1982. Continuous culture runs were made over various periods of time, mid-spring through mid-summer. These runs provide the experimental data listed as objective (operation of continuous culture for multiproduct spectrum including alcohol). Finally, from these results and the prediction of the model developed under objective, the applicability of the model to the experimental system that was used was determined. (ERA citation 08:025849)
